PVM Experiences in Developing the MIDASParallel Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are currently developing a parallel database system that exploits PVM as communication platform. In this paper we describe the communication characteristics of this application and specify to which extent PVM innuences the overall performance of our system. Our experiences with PVM are shown, advantages and some shortcomings are summarized, and hints for eeciently implementing applications with similar communication demands are given.

Experiences with Modelling an Open Pvm Environment Using Computer Simulation
Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) is a widely{used software system that permits a heterogeneous collection of computers networked together to be viewed by a user's program as a single distributed{memory parallel machine. In this paper, the application of simulation to develop a functional and performance model of the PVM system and PVM applications running in an open workstations environment was i...
متن کاملPvm in Germany and at Technical University Munich
The following text will give some insight into activities of the PVM users in Germany. The overview presented is far from being complete and all information was collected by directly contacting persons known to use PVM. However, more than a dozen of sites at universities and research institutes sent us material about their programs, hardware conngurations etc. They also gave details on their ex...
متن کاملDeveloping a Standardized Medical Speech Recognition Database for Reconstructive Hand Surgery
Fast and holistic access to the patients’ clinical record is a major requirement of modern medical decision support systems (DSS). While electronic health records (EHRs) have replaced the traditional paper-based records in most healthcare organization, the data entry into these systems remains largely manual. Speech recognition technology promises substitution of the more convenient speech-base...

متن کاملRunning Pvm Applications in the Punch Wide Area Network-computing Environment
This paper outlines key issues that must be addressed in order to allow PVM-based programs to make eeective use of resources within a wide area network-computing environment. Support mechanisms that allow unmodiied PVM programs to be used within the PUNCH network-computing environment are also described. The mechanisms were found to be easy to implement, and preliminary experiences indicate tha...
