Comparative analysis of PVM and MPI for the development of physical applications on parallel clusters∗
نویسنده
چکیده
PVM and MPI, two systems for programming clusters, are often compared. Each system has its unique strengths and this will remain so into the foreseeable future. This paper compares PVM and MPI features, pointing out the situations where one may be favored over the other; it explains the differences between these systems and the reasons for such differences. PVM – Parallel Virtual Machine; MPI – Message Passing Interface

PVMWebCluster: Integration of PVM Clusters Using Web Services and CORBA
We propose a new architecture and its implementation called PVMWebCluster which enables easy parallelization of PVM task execution both onto geographically distributed PVM clusters and within them. Task submission is done by calling Web services that negotiate the best cluster(s) for the task and communicate with clusters via CORBA method invocation. PVMWebCluster supports tightly-coupled high ...
متن کاملParleda: a Library for Parallel Processing in Computational Geometry Applications
ParLeda is a software library that provides the basic primitives needed for parallel implementation of computational geometry applications. It can also be used in implementing a parallel application that uses geometric data structures. The parallel model that we use is based on a new heterogeneous parallel model named HBSP, which is based on BSP and is introduced here. ParLeda uses two main lib...

Parallel computing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it facilitates many time-consuming algorithms in different application domains.In this paper, we introduce a novel platform for parallel computing by using MPI and OpenMP programming languages based on set of networked PCs. UMZHPC is a free Linux-based parallel computing infrastructure that has been developed to cr...
متن کاملHierarchical MPI+OpenMP Implementation of Parallel PIC Applications on Clusters of Symmetric MultiProcessors
The hierarchical combination of decomposition strategies for the development of parallel Particle-in-cell simulation codes, targeted to hierarchical distributed-shared memory architectures, is discussed in this paper, along with its MPI+OpenMP implementation. Particular emphasis is given to the devised dynamic workload balancing technique.
متن کاملA Common Messaging Layer for MPI and PVM over SCI
This paper describes the design of a common message passing layer for implementing both MPI and PVM over the SCI interconnect in a workstation or PC cluster. The design is focused at obtaining low latency. The message layer encapsulates all necessary knowledge of the underlying interconnect and operating system. Yet, we claim that it can be used to implement such diierent message passing librar...
