Capabilities and Software Components of Pvmmake

 

Pvmmake is a PVM application, which uses the PVM message-passing library to perform two basic operations:

The fact that pvmmake performs just these two basic operations, makes the program very flexible, powerful, and very easy to use. PADE can be viewed as being essentially a shell for running pvmmake.

The pvmmake utility consists of two executables: the pvmmake binary and the targets binary. (In order to avoid confusion, the term pvmmake will denote the entire parallel application consisting of the pvmmake and targets binaries located on all nodes of the VM). Both of these binaries must reside on every node of the virtual machine for pvmmake to run. The three source files

only are required to build pvmmake binary and targets.
