* Starting PVM Before ? we go over the steps to compile and run parallel PVM programs, you should be sure you can start up PVM and configure a virtual machine. On any host on which PVM has been installed you can type % pvm and you should get back a PVM console prompt signifying that PVM is now running on this host. You can add hosts to your virtual machine by typing at the console prompt pvm add hostname And you can delete hosts (except the one you are on) from your virtual machine by typing pvm delete hostname If you get the message ``Cant Start pvmd, then check the common startup problems section and try again. * Starting PVM To see what the present virtual machine looks like, you can type pvm conf To see what PVM tasks are running on the virtual machine, you type pvm ps –a Of course you dont have any tasks running yet; thats in the next section. If you type ``quit at the console prompt, the console will quit but your virtual machine and tasks will continue to run. At any Unix prompt on any host in the virtual machine, you can type % pvm and you will get the message ``pvm already running and the console prompt. When you are finished with the virtual machine, you should type pvm halt This command kills any PVM tasks, shuts down the virtual machine, and exits the console. This is the recommended method to stop PVM because it makes sure that the virtual machine shuts down cleanly. You should practice starting and stopping and adding hosts to PVM until you are comfortable with the PVM console. A full description of the PVM console and its many command options is given at the end of this chapter. * Introduction Programing with MPI Programming with PVM Comparision with MPI and PVM Outline * PVM and MPI Goals PVM A distributed operating system Portability Heterogeneity Handling communication failures MPI A library for writing application program, not a distributed operating system portability High Performance Heterogeneity Well-defined behavior * What is Not
