The last time we tried Win32 PVM we failed to get it to work, and we currently do not have performance comparisons. Under LINUX, HP-PVM produces a throughput of around 3 times that of Oakridge PVM (excluding network latency). It would be interesting at some point to try test it against Win32 PVM again, especially using shared memory. >> David Mellor Parallel Computer Systems >> >> High performance cluster computing david@parasys.co.uk >> software, including fast PVM clone http://www.parasys.co.uk
