In this paper we present a new method for achieving a higher cost-efficiency on parallel computers. We insert routines into a program which detect the amount of computational work without using problem-specific parameters and adapt the number of used CPUs at runtime under given speedup/efficiency constraints. Several user-tunable strategies for selecting the number of processors are presented and compared. The modularity of this approach and its application-independence permit a general use on parallel computers with a scalable degree of parallelism.
