Message-Passing Interface (MPI) and Parallel Vector Machine (PVM) are two message-passing packages for parallel processing.
SCD generally recommends MPI over PVM because it's a more accepted standard.
Here are some information sources for the SCD systems that have message-passing:
- Crays
On the Crays, both MPI and PVM are part of the
Message Passing Toolkit (MPT). For directions on how to load MPT on the Crays, see the Using the Message Passing Toolkit page on SCD's ConsultWeb.
See also the Cray file /usr/news/MPT12.news.
For information on using MPI on Cray systems, see the Cray Research MPI Programmer's Manual.
For information on using PVM on Cray systems, see the Cray Research PVM Progammer's Manual.
- Silicon Graphics Cray Origin2000 (ute)
On the Origin2000, both MPI and PVM are part of MPT.
For information on using MPI on the Origin2000, see the man page (man mpi) on ute. Also see the SGI MPI Programmer's Manual and the SGI MPI and PVM User's Guide.
For information on using PVM on the Origin2000, see the man page (man pvm) on ute. Also see the
PVM Programmer's Manual and the
MPI and PVM User's Guide.
- HP Exemplar SPP2000 (sioux)
For information on using MPI and PVM on the HP Exemplar, See the
Message passing and
Using MPI sections of the SCD UserDoc, "Getting started guide: sioux."
The MPI and PVM manuals are also available online, with the pinpoint command.
