If you may use any of bitmap image edit program for Linux:
ImageMagick, GIMP, look Linux_bitmap_graphics_editors in WikiPedia,
Photoshop in any version and increase the size of picture step by step
by 5-10 % in each step up to desired size. You may use specialised
programs for such enlarging too.
Practical you may echieve 300-500 % enlarging (in pixels pre side)
without too much visible artefacts. Don't use jpg or other quality
lost compression!!!

BTW to print really large posters you don't need such high resolution
as for small ones. We use 150 dpi to print large posters and it is
enough!
