Abstract

We present PVMe, IBM's AIX implementation of the widely used PVM message passing programming model. The focus is on the version for the IBM 9076 SP2. The basic PVMe design is described along with the results obtained running some significant applications on this platform.

A perspective on possible future developments of PVMe concludes the work.
