Abstract

We study how two well known platform for parallel programming, namely PVM and Linda, compare for designing a computation-intensive simulation program running on a cluster of networked workstations. The program has been developed as a component of the DREAM system, a distributed problem solving environment oriented to the domain of aerodynamics. We compare the available programming environments for PVM and Linda in our domain from a software engineering point of view, namely we discuss how effective they are in the design phase of a parallel application with special requirements of load balancing and distributed data allocation.
