A Distributed Linda-like Kernel for PVM
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe the implementation of a Linda-like system on top of PVM. The kernel was initially developed for a Transputer based system[4]. For flexibility the system was ported to PVM. This paper outlines how the York kernel works, how it currently performs with respect to a similar system and possible future developments for the PVM version.

Programming a Workstation Cluster with PVM and Linda: a Qualitative and Quantitative Comparison
In this paper a comparison between two of the most signiicant and common tools for distributed computing, PVM and Linda, is carried out. These tools may be used to program a cluster of workstations as well as several commercial multiprocessors and multicomputers and are based upon two completely diierent computational paradigms: message-passing (PVM) and the shared tuple space (Linda). The pape...
متن کاملPT-PVM : A Portable Platform for Multithreaded Coordination Languages
This paper describes a portable message passing and process management platform for multithreaded applications. PT-PVM is based on the PVM system and provides message passing and process management facilities at the thread level for a cluster of workstations running the UNIX operating system without changing the PVM system. Moreover PT-PVM introduces advanced programming abstractions like gener...
متن کاملAn Architecture for a Multi-threaded Harness Kernel
Harness is a reconÞgurable, heterogeneous distributed metacomputing framework for the dynamic conÞguration of distributed virtual machines, through the use of parallel plug-in software components. A parallel plug-in is a software module that exists as a synchronized collection of traditional plug-ins distributed across a parallel set of resources. As a follow-on to PVM, the Harness kernel pro...
متن کاملIntegrating Zipcode and PVM: Towards a Higher-Level Message-Passing Environment
This paper describes the architecture and implementation of an integrated message-passing environment consisting of Zipcode and PVM. Zipcode is a highlevel message-passing system for multicomputers and homogeneous networks of computers. PVM is a relatively low-level message-passing system designed for multicomputers and heterogeneous networks of computers. Although PVM provides a workable and e...
