Abstract

We are currently developing a parallel database system that exploits PVM as communication platform. In this paper we describe the communication characteristics of this application and specify to which extent PVM influences the overall performance of our system. Our experiences with PVM are shown, advantages and some shortcomings are summarized, and hints for efficiently implementing applications with similar communication demands are given.
