Migrating from PVM to MPI


I'm working on migrating a project from PVM to MPI. I wanted to ask if anyone here has done so before and if there exists any tutorials or manuals on the correspondance between functions in PVM and MPI.


Solution

  • I have a lot of resources I've been using over the past few days

    No problem with MPI by the way each processor runs synchronously in parallel with all the other processors, and every processor shares a different address space. (You can experiment this for yourself with java.util.Date and run System.out.println statements to the console and you'll see when you send something and receive something using point-to-point or unblocked communication, the process will recieve at the same time it was sent in a synchronous fashion). Send and recieve is better to think about when your at the dinner table and you ask a relative to give you a fork, you would recieve the fork at the same as it is being sent (i.e. being handed directly to you).
