Abstract

Parallel virtual machine (PVM) and message-passing interface (MPI) are the most successful message-passing libraries to map parallel algorithm onto parallel computing platform. Configuration of MPI and PVM in the nodes present in parallel computing environment (desktop PC’s interconnected using ethernet LAN) is the time-consuming task for a user. This configuration procedure requires lot of knowledge about the steps to be followed to make them work properly. Configuration becomes the difficult task when there are more number of nodes in the parallel computing environment. Our work aims on developing a common parallel programming platform, which allows a user to get MPI and PVM in the nodes without any time-consuming configuration steps. This is done by integrating the recent version of PVM: PVM3.4.6 into the MPI’s MPICH2 packages in order to simplify the time-consuming task of configuring them separately.
