Another Architecture: PVM on Windows 95/NT by Markus Fischer and Jack Dongarra. October 4, 1996 ABSTRACT: This paper describes the implementation of PVM in the new WIN32-bit world. There are no restrictions to existing applications which are using PVM since it is fully compatible to the existing PVM3 release. We discuss the limits and provide some benchmarking results. The software package is freely available at netlib: http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/index.html
