Abstract
The Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) system is a software framework that enables heterogeneous concurrent computing in heterogeneous environments. Since its conception in 1989, it has evolved into a very popular and widely used platform for cluster and network computing. The programming model supported by PVM, straightforward formulation of the API, robust portable implementations, and timeliness have all played an important role in PVM's impact on high performance computing. We discuss the overall design of PVM and describe its ongoing evolution, recently introduced features, and future directions.KeywordsVirtual MachineMessage PassingRemote Procedure CallCommunication VolumeParallel Virtual MachineThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
