After a freak turn of events, I have decided to drop the distributed objects page because of the wealth of information available. Kind of a strange excuse to stop a project - because there's too much information.  Oh well, I kept what I have done on Distributed Objects so if you wanted to, you could look and get some sources.

PVM Parallel Virtual Machine - This volume presents a software package for developing parallel programs executable on networked Unix computers. The tool called Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) allows a heterogeneous collection of workstations and supercomputers to function as a singl

The PVM Guide - An online book briefly discussing the issues related to installing and configuring PVM machines as well as building PVM applications. Seems promising.

Writing PVM Applications - A nice, brief, to the point description how to write PDP applications using PVM. You can navigate their PVM information tree, it's pretty nice.

XPVM: A Graphical Console and Monitor for PVM - XPVM provides a graphical interface to the PVM console commands and information, along with several animated views to monitor the execution of PVM programs. These views provide information about the interactions among tasks in a parallel PVM program.

POV-PVM Home Page * - FLY is a new, FAST way of rendering images. Using the ray-tracing method FLY generates high-quality images from standard scene descriptions, using any combination of PC, workstations and multiprocessor machines available in a cluster.

Condor Links

CONDOR: High Throughput Computing - Condor is a software system that runs on a cluster of workstations to harness wasted CPU cycles. A Condor pool consists of any number of machines, of possibly different architectures and operating systems, that are connected by a network.
