1778.0. "Does Digital Do PVM?" by WELLDN::CHRISTENSEN (Proofreader for Sky Writers) Mon Jul 26 1993 15:57

        Hi,

        A friend is using PVM and is interested in whether anyone at Digital
        is also using it.  He's especially interested in whether anyone is
        considering porting it onto VMS...he's using it on UNIX.

        From the one page writeup:
        "PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a software system that enables a
        collection of heterogeneous computers to be used as a coherent and
        flexible concurrent computational resource.  PVM is ideally suited
        for concurrent applications composed of many interrelated parts. 
        PVM is particularly effective for heterogeneous applications that
        exploit specific strengths of individual machines on a network.  As
        a loosely coupled concurrent supercomputer environment, PVM is a
        viable scientific computing platform.  PVM system has been used for
        a number of applications such as molecular dynamics simulations,
        superconductivity studies, distributed fractal computations, matrix
        algorithms, and in the classroom as the basis for teaching
        concurrent computing."

        Thanks for any insights you can give me,
        Cecile
