The programs pvmmake, pvmstat, pvmtidy, and padeinituser
were developed in the NIST Computing and Applied Mathematics Laboratory to
facilitate general PVM development. They are quite useful as stand-alone
applications. One of them, pvmmake, is essential for PADE to
perform its basic operations. They perform the following tasks.
- pvmmake - The pvmmake program provides both the file
transfer and command execution capabilities of PADE. It is a PVM
program that can be used on its own. This program is described in
detail in Chapter 3. The prospective PADE user is encouraged
to read this chapter carefully as a full understanding of pvmmake
command-file syntax is important for effective use of PADE.
- pvmstat - The pvmstat program returns information about
the status of the user's virtual machine, whether PVM has been started,
and the current configuration of the virtual machine. It consists of a
single C program.
- pvmtidy - The pvmtidy program enables the user to clean
up hopelessly lost PVM daemons and user processes after PVM is halted
ungracefully. It consists of two script files and one C program.
- padeinituser - The padeinituser program enables PADE
users to create the default directory tree in which PVM binaries
are located (if they don't currently exist) and to place the NIST
CAML utilities in their proper places. It consists of a single
script.
