Selecting the following will guide you to sources (or meta-sources)
pertaining to the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) software system.
A more current list can be found at the
PVM Home Site.
- Documentation:
- Software:
- The PVM software is available via the
PVM home directory index at
netlib.
- The PETSc (Portable Extensible Tools for Scientific Computing)
package, for which the portable message passing system Chameleon
runs on top of PVM, is available via the
PETSc home page. This is also accessible via
Bill Gropp's home page.
- PIOUS, a Parallel I/O System for PVM, implements a fully
functional parallel file system on top of PVM. There is an
informational file about PIOUS in the
PIOUS home directory.
- PIM (Parallel Iterative Methods), is a collection of Fortran
routines to implement iterative methods for linear systems. It
has been ported to PVM and can be obtained via the
PIM home page.
- LPARX provides run-time support for dynamic, non-uniform
scientific calculations running on MIMD machines. It is intended
for particle methods and adaptive multilevel finite different
methods such as adaptive mesh refinement. It has been ported to
PVM and the manuals and software can be found at the
LPARX home page.
- The DC package for Distributed Coupling of numerical models was
developed by Norman Barth and Sharon Smith and implemented using the
PVM system. An
informational file is available that briefly describes the
DC package (470 Kb compressed).
- Glenda is an environment for easy parallel programming using PVM
and similar to the Linda environment. The
Glenda package (215 Kb tarred and compressed) is available
at the
Univ. of Southern Mississippi.
