PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine)
PVM is a byproduct of ORNL’s Heterogeneous Distributed Computing research project.
PVM continues to evolve based on changing computer and network technology and user feedback.
With tens of thousands of users PVM is the most popular software to combine networked computers. Which means you can:
- Leverage existing expertise in using PVM
- Leverage existing PVM application software
- Take advantage of large number of third party tools for it
PVM provides the software environment that
makes a cluster appear like a single large parallel computer
