PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a portable message-passing programming
|
|
|
|
|
system, designed to link separate host machines to form a virtual
|
|
|
|
|
machine which is a single, manageable computing resource.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The virtual machine can be composed of hosts of different architectures,
|
|
|
|
|
located in physically remote locations. PVM applications can be composed of any
|
|
|
|
|
number of separate processes, or components, written in a mixture of C,
|
|
|
|
|
C++ and Fortran. The system is portable to a wide variety of
|
|
|
|
|
architectures, including workstations, multiprocessors, supercomputers and
|
|
|
|
|
PCs.
