Once the manager/worker program has compiled successfully, the next
order-of-business is to run it. This can be done within PADE in two
different methods. These are as follows.
- xterm - PADE can be used to launch the newly-compiled
parallel application in an xterm window. This method useful when
the application requires interactive input at the terminal and when
the user does not wish to save anything the application writes to standard
output. Furthermore, unless the user's xterm window has scrollbars,
any output written in the window that scrolls out of view will be lost.
- pvmmake - The user can create a pvmmake config file that
issues the run command. This method is more useful in situations that
are complementary to the xterm method. If the output of the application
that is written to the screen is important to the user and if no interactive
input is required, then running with pvmmake is the preferred
method. Interactive programs can actually be run this way if the input
to the program is redirected.
Both methods of running the manager/worker application are described
below.
