An Introduction to PVM Programming Introduction to PVM Beginning Programming Compiling and Running Your Program Communication Between Tasks ... Conclusion Introduction to PVM PVM is a message passing system that enables a network of Unix computers to be used as a single distributed memory parallel computer. This network is referred to as the virtual machine. PVM can be used at several levels. At the highest level, the transparent mode, tasks are automatically executed on the most appropriate computer. In the architecture-dependent mode, the user specifies which type of computer is to run a particular task. In low-level mode, the user may specify a particular computer to execute a task. In all of these modes, PVM takes care of necessary data conversions from computer to computer as well as low-level communication issues. PVM is a very flexible message passing system. It supports the most general form of MIMD parallel computation. This allows the use of any programming paradigmall neccessary control structures can be implemented with suitable PVM constructs. Beginning Programming There are a few structures that are common to all PVM programs written in C. Every PVM program should include the PVM header file. This contains needed information about the PVM programming interface. This is done by putting

PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a software package that permits a heterogeneous collection of Unix and/or Windows computers hooked together by a network to be used as a single large parallel computer. Thus large computational problems can be solved more cost effectively by using the aggregate power and memory of many computers. The software is very portable. The source, which is available free thru netlib, has been compiled on everything from laptops to CRAYs. PVM enables users to exploit their existing computer hardware to solve much larger problems at minimal additional cost. Hundreds of sites around the world are using PVM to solve important scientific, industrial, and medical problems in addition to PVM's use as an educational tool to teach parallel programming. With tens of thousands of users, PVM has become the de facto standard for distributed computing world-wide. For those who need to know, PVM is Y2K compliant. PVM does not use the date anywhere in its internals. Current PVM News: EuroPVM-MPI 2005 . The 12th European PVM-MPI Meeting will be held in Capri-Sorrento Penisular, Italy

Next: Using PVM Up: PVM: Parallel Virtual Machine Previous: The Linda System The PVM System PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a byproduct of an ongoing heterogeneous network computing research project involving the authors and their institutions. The general goals of this project are to investigate issues in, and develop solutions for, heterogeneous concurrent computing. PVM is an integrated set of software tools and libraries that emulates a general-purpose, flexible, heterogeneous concurrent computing framework on interconnected computers of varied architecture. The overall objective of the PVM system is to to enable such a collection of computers to be used cooperatively for concurrent or parallel computation. Detailed descriptions and discussions of the concepts, logistics, and methodologies involved in this network-based computing process are contained in the remainder of the book. Briefly, the principles upon which PVM is based include the following: User-configured host pool : The application's computational tasks execute on a set of machines that are selected by the user for a given run of the PVM program. Both single-CPU machines and hardware multiprocessors (including shared-memory and distributed-memory computers) may be part of the host pool. The host pool may be altered by adding and deleting machines during operation (an important feature for fault tolerance). Translucent access to hardware: Application programs either may view the hardware environment as an attributeless collection of virtual processing elements or may choose to exploit the capabilities of specific machines in the host pool by positioning certain computational tasks on the most appropriate computers.

Setting PVM on the SEAS network Mihai Surdeanu An old PVM version was already installed on the ULTRIX machines in the SEAS network. Unfortunately, this version is incomplete so I decided to install a new one. I chose version 3.3.11, which is the latest final version. Setting your account for PVM Anybody with a valid SEAS account may use the new 3.3.11 PVM. All you have to do is follow these steps: Edit the .rhosts file if you didn't do it already to include all the ULTRIX machines you plan to use as part of PVM. My .rhosts file looks something like this: quick mihai rapid mihai hyper mihai zebra mihai star0 mihai star1 mihai You will have to replace mihai with your user name. The meaning of this file is just to allow the PVM daemon to launch tasks on these machines. It is not the PVM configuration file. Add the following variables to your environment: Name Value Description ~mihai/pvm3_3_11 The location of the PVM files `$PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmgetarch` The architecture the PVM is running on. For the ULTRIX machines this variable is PMAX but you can use the pvmgetarch command supplied in the PVM distribution to automatically find it.

Newsletter Sponsor: Parallel Virtual Machine Tuning PVM 3.4 for Large Clusters Al Geist Oak Ridge National Laboratory Abstract The Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) remains one of the most popular programming environments for cluster computing. The latest PVM release includes optimization options programmers can use to increase the performance of their applications and to take advantage of the computation power of large-scale cluster environments. The article discusses the trade-offs between MPI and PVM, and gives guidelines for improving PVM message transmitting performance to approximate that of vendor-optimized MPI implementations. (2,200 words) Web Site Sponsors: P VM's programming model begins with the concept of a virtual machine . That machine is composed of one or more hosts that communicate with each other using standard TCP/IP network protocols. The hosts can be any heterogeneous collection of workstations, supercomputers, PCs, and even laptops. In this article we will assume the hosts are nodes in a large PC cluster. From the programmer's view, the virtual machine is a single large distributed-memory parallel computer. The PVM programming model allows an unlimited number of hosts in the virtual machine (although the actual implementation limit is 4,096 hosts, each of which can be multiprocessors with up to 2,048 nodes). No one has come close to reaching that host limit. The largest PVM virtual machines to date are on 1,000-processor Beowulf clusters. The programming model allows hosts to be added and deleted dynamically from the virtual machine.
