چکیده
Although PVM was developed to use a network of heterogeneous UNIX computers as a single large parallel computer it has become an interface for portable programming even on MPP s We present PVM performance results for a massively parallel transputer system with up to processors In comparison to an implementation of the same application in the native transputer operating system Parix we realized about performance loss for the PVM application This is mainly caused by restrictions in the process model and the less e cient communication of PVM in comparison to Parix

First European PVM Users' Group Meeting Rome, Italy, October 9-11 1994 Performance of PVM on a Highly Parallel Transputer System
Although PVM was developed to use a network of heterogeneous UNIX computers as a single large parallel computer, it has become an interface for portable programming even on MPP's. We present PVM performance results for a massively parallel transputer system with up to 512 processors. In comparison to an implementation of the same application in the native transputer operating system Parix, we r...

متن کاملA Distributed Linda-like Kernel for PVM
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.
متن کاملPortability versus E ciency? Parallel Applications on PVM and Parix
Analogous to the shift from assembler language programming to the thirdgeneration languages in the early years of computer science, we are currently witnessing a paradigm change towards the use of portable programming models in parallel high-performance computing. Like before, the use of a high-level programming environment must be paid for by a reduced system performance. But how much does por...
متن کاملExperiences on Porting a Parallel Objects Environment from a Transputer Network to a PVM-Based System
Parallel Objects is a powerful model for distributed/parallel Object-Oriented program-ming. Goal of this paper is to present the approach adopted in porting the support of the Parallel Objects environment, originally implemented for a massively parallel architecture, onto the PVM environment, which is nowadays a de-facto standard in the design of distributed applications on heterogeneous networ...
