Does any one here have any experience with parallel programming? Specifically PVM. I am working on distributed system right now, and I had a few questions.

Linux magazine did an article on that.
What *specific* kind of parallel programming are you talking about?

[stautze]

I am using the PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) library to divide processes amongst the nodes in the cluster.

As to what types of programs, I am game to try any. Right now we are still working on tweaking the hardware, so I am writting code that will hopefully test the overall performance of the system.

I am still trying to sort out the hardware. Does anybody know how to share a root directory to multiple systems with nfs.

Add an entry to the /etc/exports file to share the distribution directory you created.
