Newsgroups: comp.parallel.pvm From: Suresh Kannan Subject: Bottle Neck Problem Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology Date: Tue, 04 Nov 1997 16:26:40 -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <345F930F.DCFAB9D0@cad.gatech.edu> Hi, I have a system as follows Computer1---bottleneck----> Computer2---------->Computer3 All computers are on the network and can use PVM. If Computer1 uses a wireless ethernet card to communicate and hence we would like to minimize the ammount of traffic. If I use groups, will data from computer2 and computer3 be transmitted via bottleneck to computer1 even though C1 does not subscribe to those groups ? Is PVM intelligent enough to decide that NO processes on Computer 1 require the data and thus refrain from sending it. regards, suresh.
