Abstract

This paper summaries experiences designing and developing a parallel/distributed simulator for existing models of forest fire propagation using PVM. The methodology used to parallelise the application is described. Results obtained for the parallelisation on different platforms are presented: clusters of SUN workstations and PCs, and one parallel machine (Parsytec CC) with different internal node interconnections. The studies present several measurements of performance & scalability of the proposed solution for this forest fire application.
