Abstract
The authors describe the evolution of the PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) system, a software infrastructure for concurrent computing in networked environments. PVM is currently in use at several hundred institutions worldwide for applications ranging from scientific supercomputing to high-performance computations in medicine, discrete mathematics, and databases, and for learning parallel programming. The authors describe the historical evolution of the PVM system, outline the programming model and supported features, present results gained from its use, list representative applications from a variety of disciplines for which PVM has been used, and comment on future trends and ongoing research projects. >
