Program Examples

In this chapter we discuss several complete PVM programs in detail. The first example, forkjoin.c, shows how to to spawn off processes and synchronize with them. The second example discusses a Fortran dot product program, PSDOT.F. The third example, failure.c, demonstrates how the user can use the pvm_notify() call to create fault tolerant appliations. We present an example that performs a matrix multiply. Lastly, we show how PVM can be used to compute heat diffusion through a wire.
