Foil 134 PVM Daemon (pvmd3)

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


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.
One daemon runs on each machine configured into your PVM machine. Each will have their own pvmd3s running.
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.
Each daemon maintains a table of configuration and process information relative to your parallel virtual machine.
