The only problem is, that it is very slow. I have a dual Processor Board (shared Memory) and when I start a two process job pvm only takes 30-40% CPU time of each processor, which means that starting the two processes on only one processor is faster ?? My questions are: 1) Is the problem the shared Memory? 2) Is there a version of PVM for shared Memory under Linux (I couldn't find any myself)? Thank you very much in advance. Ehab Fares.
