DPVM: PVM for Dawning Cluster Systems

摘要

This paper depicts the design, implementation and performance of DPVM. which is a port of the PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) to the Dawning cluster systems, through some design algorithms and experimental results. DPVM is derived from the original PVM 3.3.11 source code to retain compatibility with the existing PVM applications. However, it uses a low-level direct communication protocol and the resource management software of the Dawning2000 cluster system. Experimental results show that DPNM is a well-done PVM implementation on the IBM RS6000 workstation cluster, and efficiently utilizes the Dawning cluster system with efficient support of low-level communication protocol and resource management service.
