About:
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 varying types, 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.
Release focus: Minor feature enhancements
Changes:
New architectures supported: Darwin/MacOS X, Cygwin, and Beoscyld. There are many bugfixes and a couple of new features. One new feature is the concept of a "Virtual Machine ID". You can now set the PVM_VMID environment variable to an arbitrary string (or use the "id=" option in a host file), and this will distinguish multiple virtual machines all running on the same set of hosts under the same userid.
