From MetaComputing -- MRA Meeting Part I:Concepts and Issues Tutorial for CRPC MRA Meeting at Cornell -- May 7 1996. by Mark Baker, Geoffrey Fox


1 The PVM daemon pvmd3 is a Unix process which oversees the operation of user processes within a PVM application and co-ordinates inter-machine PVM communications.
2 One daemon runs on each machine configured into your PVM machine. Each will have their own pvmd3s running.
3 The "master" PVM daemon is the first PVM daemon started and is responsible for starting all other PVM daemons in your parallel virtual machine. Typically started on your login machine.
4 Each daemon maintains a table of configuration and process information relative to your parallel virtual machine.
