Abstract

Message-passing is often used to implement parallel programs to run on workstation clusters. However, writing message-passing programs is a difficult and error prone task. In this paper we describe a graphical interface called PVMbuilder to support the construction of PVM programs. We show the tool produces little overhead in comparison to the hand-written PVM program. PVMbuilder provides a higher level abstract view of the program and supports dynamic process creation along with automatic generation of PVM communication calls.
