HPCC - Courseware - PVM Overview Is linked with each application component (program); Contains the PVM message passing functions Some terminology associated with pvm programming http://www.hpcc.ecs.soton.ac.uk/EandT/courseware/PVM/introduction.html
Extractions: PVM is a software package that permits a heterogeneous collection of serial, parallel, and vector computers on a network to appear as one large computing resource. PVM supports heterogeneity at three levels. Application Subtasks can use the architecture best suited to their solution. Machine Computers with different data formats, different architectures (serial or parallel), and different operating systems. Network Different network types; for example. FDDI, Ethernet.

Extractions: As a Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science at U. C. San Diego, I have attempted to gain experience for the teaching aspects of an academic career as well as pursue my thesis research. I've had the opportunity to develop and co-teach a course with Dr.Keith Marzullo as part of the Preparing Future Faculty program, I've mentored various undergrads for different lengths of time, and I have been a teaching assistant for a variety of computer science classes before I received my NASA Fellowship. I recognize the importance of teaching in any academic position. Moreover, I've enjoyed teaching and working with students, and feel strongly that my research has benefited through my teaching, just as I know my teaching is better when I relate it to research. The following sections discuss my teaching philosophy, my participation in the Preparing Future Faculty program, and my previous teaching and mentoring experience. It has been my experience that teaching and research are best when intertwined, both for the professor and for the students. Research becomes a part of teaching through: Having a thorough knowledge of the area;

Extractions: Volker Schnecke, Department of Biochemistry, Michigan State University Alexander Reinefeld Volker Schnecke Analogous to the shift from assembler language programming to the third-generation 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 portability cost in practice? Is it worth paying that price? What effect has the choice of the programming model on the algorithm architecture? In this paper, we attempt to answer these questions by comparing two applications from the domain of combinatorial optimization that have been implemented with the Parix and PVM programming models. Performance benchmarks have been run on three different systems: a massively parallel transputer system with relatively slow T805-processors, a moderately parallel Parsytec GC/PowerPlus system with powerful 80 MFLOPS processors, and a UNIX workstation cluster connected by a 10Mbps LAN. While the Parix implementations clearly turned out to be fastest, PVM gives portability at the cost of a small, acceptable loss in performance.

PVM-SCore The above PVM program hello.c is the body of the PVM program hello, a simple example that illustrates the basic concepts of pvm programming. http://www.pccluster.org/score/dist/score/html/en/reference/pvm/pvm-score.html
Extractions: The PVM software provides a unified framework within which parallel programs can be developed in an efficient and straightforward manner using existing hardware. PVM enables a collection of heterogeneous computer systems to be viewed as a single parallel virtual machine. PVM transparently handles all message routing, data conversion, and task scheduling across a network of incompatible computer architectures. The PVM computing model is simple yet very general, and accommodates a wide variety of application program structures. The programming interface is deliberately straightforward, thus permitting simple program structures to be implemented in an intuitive manner. The user writes his application as a collection of cooperating tasks. Tasks access PVM resources through a library of standard interface routines. These routines allow the initiation and termination of tasks across the network as well as communication and synchronization between tasks. The PVM message-passing primitives are oriented towards heterogeneous operation, involving strongly typed constructs for buffering and transmission. Communication constructs include those for sending and receiving data structures as well as high-level primitives such as broadcast, barrier synchronization, and global sum. PVM tasks may possess arbitrary control and dependency structures. In other words, at any point in the execution of a concurrent application, any task in existence may start or stop other tasks or add or delete computers from the virtual machine. Any process may communicate and/or synchronize with any other. Any specific control and dependency structure may be implemented under the PVM system by appropriate use of PVM constructs and host language control-flow statements.
CODE Visual Parallel Programming System CODE is a visual parallel programming system that composes sequential programs into parallel programs for sharedmemory multiprocessors and workstations running MPI or pvm. http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/code/
Extractions: CODE is a visual parallel programming system, allowing users to compose sequential programs into a parallel one. The parallel program is a directed graph, where data flows on arcs connecting the nodes representing the sequential programs. The sequential programs may be written in any language, and CODE will produce parallel programs for a variety of architectures, as its model is architecture-independent.

Author: Reuti, reutiatstaff.uni-marburg.de; Philipps-University of Marburg, Germany Version: 1.0 2005-03-26 Initial release, comments and corrections are welcome Contents: Note: This HOWTO complements the information contained in the $SGE_ROOT/pvm directory of the Grid Engine distribution. Advantages of a Tight Integration The original included files for the PVM integration offer only a loose integration of PVM into SGE. This means, that the necessary daemons (which build up the PVM), will neither be under control of SGE, nor that all files on the slave nodes (created by PVM for its internal management) will be correctly deleted in case of a job abort. Also the accounting will not be correct, as the via rsh started PVM daemons on the slave nodes are not related in any way to SGE.

Extractions: Platform Documentation Title Contents Previous ... Index Top When LSF runs a job, the LSB_HOSTS variable is set to the names of the hosts running the batch job. For a parallel batch job, LSB_HOSTS contains the complete list of hosts that LSF has allocated to that job. LSF starts one controlling process for the parallel batch job on the first host in the host list. It is up to your parallel application to read the LSB_HOSTS environment variable to get the list of hosts, and start the parallel job components on all the other allocated hosts. LSF provides a generic interface to parallel programming packages so that any parallel package can be supported by writing shell scripts or wrapper programs. For information about writing parallel applications for use with the Platform Parallel product, see Using Platform Parallel (OBSOLETE) Top Some applications can take this list of hosts directly as a command line parameter. For other applications, you may need to process the host list.

Extractions: However, PVM is a old standard for parallel programming. The new standard is call MPI ( message passing interface ). MPI should be used in new programs instead of PVM.

Otherwise the master daemons cannot start daemons at other nodes.
