Network-based concurrent computing on the PVM system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concurrent computing environments based on loosely coupled networks have proven effective as resources for multiprocessing. Experiences with and enhancements to PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) are described in this paper. PVM is a software system that allows the utilization of a heterogeneous network of parallel and serial computers as a single computational resource. This report also describes an interactive graphical interface to PVM, and porting and performance results from production applications.

Load Balancing for Network Based Multi-threaded Applications
In this paper we present Lbs, a load-management-system for network based concurrent computing. The system is built on Pt-Pvm, a library based on the PVM system. Pt-Pvm provides message passing and process management facilities at thread and process level for a cluster of workstations running the UNIX operating system. The presented system is realized as an open library which can be easily used ...
متن کاملPVM–based Training of Large Neural Architectures
In this paper a methodology for parallelizing neural network training algorithms is described, based on the parallel evaluation of the error function and gradient using the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM). PVM is an integrated set of software tools and libraries that emulates a general–purpose, flexible, heterogeneous concurrent computing framework on interconnected computers of varied architect...
متن کاملDeveloping Interactive PVM-based Parallel Programs on Distributed Computing Systems within AVS Framework
We discuss techniques in developing interactive Parallel Virtual Machine(PVM) concurrent programs on distributed systems under AVS framework. Using a stock option price modeling application as a case study, we demonstrate a simple, e ective and modular approach to coupling network-based concurrent modules into an interactive remote visualization environment. A prototype simulation on-demand sys...
متن کاملHeterogeneous parallel and distributed computing
Heterogeneous network-based distributed and parallel computing is gaining increasing acceptance as an alternative or complementary paradigm to multiprocessor-based parallel processing as well as to conventional supercomputing. While algorithmic and programming aspects of heterogeneous concurrent computing are similar to their parallel processing counterparts, system issues, partitioning and sch...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of PVM on PC-LAN Distributed Computing
This paper evaluates network distributed computing performance in PVM environment. The paper points out that essential difference between network computing and MPP computing in PVM environment is their communication behaviours, the former is sequential and the latter concurrent. An uniform formula for system performance evaluation has been derived to cover those two major parallel processing sy...
