Parallel Virtual Machine - EuroPVM'96: Third European PVM Conference, Munich, Germany, October, 7 - 9, 1996. Proceedings [Paperback]

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European Conference on the Parallel Virtual Machine, EuroPVM '96, the 1996 European PVM users' group meeting, held in Munich, Germany, in October 1996.
The parallel virtual machine, PVM, was developed at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in cooperation with Emory University and Carnegie Mellon University to support distributed computing. This volume comprises 51 revised full contributions devoted to PVM. The papers are organized in topical sections on evaluation of PVM; Applications: CFD solvers; tools for PVM; non-numerical applications; extensions to PVM; etc.Advanced programming in PVM.- Tools for monitoring, debugging, and programming in PVM.- The status of the MPI Message-Passing standard and its relation to PVM.- A comparison of message-passing parallelization to shared-memory parallelization.- Practical experiments to improve PVM algorithms.- PVM, computational geometry, and parallel computing course.- Parallelization of a state-of-the-art industrial CFD package for execution on networks of workstations and massively parallel processors.- A parallel multigrid method for the prediction of incompressible flows on workstation clusters.- An abstract data type for parallel simulations based on sparse grids.- The PVM system: Status, trends, and directions.- OCM  An OMIS compliant monitoring system.- State based visualization of PVM applications.- Workstation cluster as a parallel hardware environment for high performance computing.- Using PVM to implement PPARDB/PVM, a portable parallel database management system.- SPTHEO  A PVM-based parallel theorem prover.- Parallel construction of finite solvable groups.- Proving properties of PVM applications  A case study with CoCheck.- Molecular dynamics simulations on Cray clusters using the SCIDDLE-PVM environment.- Parallelization of the SPAI preconditioner in a master-slave configuration.- Parallel lanczos algorithm on a Cl“”
