http://www.bsp-worldwide.org/

Extractions: BSP Worldwide is an association of people interested in the development of the Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) computing model for parallel programming. It exists to provide a convenient means for the exchange of ideas and experiences about BSP and to stimulate the use of the BSP model. Areas of interest of BSP Worldwide include: The organisation does not have a formal structure. Its activities depend on contributions by volunteers, BSP users, and developers. Have a look at the BSP in the third millenium page for details of current activities. Standard: BSPlib: the BSP Programming Library , by Jonathan Hill, Bill McColl, Dan Stefanescu, Mark Goudreau, Kevin Lang, Satish Rao, Torsten Suel, Thanasis Tsantilas, and Rob Bisseling, version with C examples or with Fortran 77 examples . Published in Parallel Computing (1998) pp. 1947-1980.
BSPlab Home Page
An environment for experimenting with BSP programs on different parallel architectures. Source code and documentation.
http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~lasse/BSPlab/

Extractions: BSP lab BSPlab is an environment for experimenting with BSP programs on different computer architectures. Parallel applications are written in Visual C++ using the BSPlib standard for communication and synchronisation. The BSPlib is the result of the standardisation effort within BSP programming made by BSP World Wide . The user may select among various predefined parallel computer architectures. Currently, these are shared memory, distributed shared memory, network of workstations, or multiprocessors with message passing organised in various network topologies. The user may also develop user-defined architectures. The BSP programs are debugged and executed in BSPlab to achieve (simulated) performance measures and hopefully a better understanding of the interplay between hardware (i.e. architecture) and software (i.e. BSP-programs). BSPlab is primarily an environment for studying BSP computations with focus on the impact of algorithms and architectures on BSP program performance. However, BSPlab can also be used as a programming environment for BSP applications developed for real parallel computers running BSPlib.

PIOUS For PVM From Emory University (14-Mar-1996)
A parallel file system on top of PVM. Source code, documentation, and white papers.
http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/pious/

Extractions: PIOUS is a complete Parallel I/O System for the PVM 3 distributed computing environment. Just as PVM implements a virtual multicomputer on top of a heterogeneous network of computing resources, PIOUS implements a fully functional parallel file system on top of PVM. PVM applications obtain transparent access to shared permanent storage via PIOUS library functions. PIOUS is intended to serve both as a platform for supporting high-performance parallel applications, and as a vehicle for parallel file system research. PIOUS implements the traditional functionality found in most parallel computer file systems, as well as a number of unique features, including: PIOUS should work on most systems that support PVM 3. To date, PIOUS has been tested on the following: Sun4/SunOS 4.1.3/5.3-4, SGI/IRIX 4.0.5/5.3, Dec Alpha/OSF1 2.1, HP 9000/HP-UX, and IBM RS6000/AIX. Versions of PIOUS are installed at hundreds of sites, and the software appears to be stable. The PIOUS project is supported in part by U. S. DoE, MICS grant DE-FG05-91ER25105, and NSF awards ASC-9527186, and CCR-9523544.

The TPVM Home Page
Threads-oriented PVM. Source code, documentation, and papers.
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~ajf2j/tpvm.html

Extractions: Threads-oriented PVM (TPVM) is an experimental subsystem for PVM which supports the use of light-weight processes or "threads" as the basic unit of scheduling and parallelism. The system has been ported to the SunOS 4.x and Solaris 2.x environments. The latest version also has ports that work on SGI workstations running IRIX 5.x, and IBM RS/6000's running AIX. All of these versions have been tested for interoperability - i.e. threads running on one of the above platforms can cooperate with threads running on other platforms transparently. The system is designed for ease of portability, so if your favorite platform, OS, or threads implementation isn't represented in the version available here, the required changes are few and are localized to a single module (the architecture independent threads module).
The JPVM Home Page
A message-passing library for Java similar to PVM. Source code and papers.
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~ajf2j/jpvm/

Extractions: The Java Parallel Virtual Machine NOTE: If you are currently using JPVM, please download the latest version below (v0.2.1, released Feb.2, 1999). It contains an important bug fix to pvm_recv. JPVM is a PVM-like library of object classes implemented in and for use with the Java Programming language. PVM is a popular message passing interface used in numerous heterogeneous hardware environments ranging from distributed memory parallel machines to networks of workstations. Java is the popular object oriented programming language from Sun Microsystems that has become a hot-spot of development on the Web. JPVM, thus, is the combination of both - ease of programming inherited from Java, high performance through parallelism inherited from PVM. The reasons against are obvious - Java programs suffer from poor performance, running more than 10 times slower than C and Fortran counterparts in a number of tests I ran on simple numerical kernels. Why then would anyone want to do parallel programming in Java? The answer for me lies in a combination of issues including the difficulty of programming - parallel programming in particular, the increasing gap between CPU and communications performance, and the increasing availability of idle workstations. Developing PVM programs is typically not an easy undertaking for non-toy problems. The available language bindings for PVM (i.e., Fortran, C, and even C++) don't make matters any easier. Java has been found to be easy to learn and scalable to complex programming problems, and thus might help avoid some of the incidental complexity in PVM programming, and allow the programmer to concentrate on the inherent complexity - there's enough of that to go around.
PGPVM2 -- Performance Visualization Support For PVM
Performance visualization tools for PVM.
http://igm.univ-mlv.fr/~veigneau/PGPVM2/

Extractions: is an enhancement package for PVM 3.3 that produces trace files for use with standard ParaGraph. PGPVM2 attempts to give an accurate portrayal of applications by minimizing the perturbation inherent with this type of monitoring. PGPVM2 does not utilize standard PVM tracing but instead its own buffered tracing techniques to provide more accurate monitoring information. Further, PGPVM2 provides a shellscript that performs some postprocessing and produces a pgfile.trf , i.e. a standard ParaGraph trace event file. Tachyon removal and clock synchronization are performed during postprocessing when necessary. , including a brief documentation and examples, is available as a gzip ed tar file pgpvm2.tar.gz from ftp://phalanstere.univ-mlv.fr ParaGraph may be obtained from netlib or by anonymous Ftp from netlib2.cs.utk.edu Y ou may prefer simply to get the postscript documentation A s computers are getting more and more connected via world-wide networks, a new chance of gaining computing power from the net arises. Thus, a collection of heterogeneous even small computers can now clusters computing power to exceed that of the sequential computers. However, it seems clear that the full potential of such distributed systems cannot be realized without similar advances in parallel software, just because parallel computation in a distributed environment is not so easy whereas it seems quite common to run large sequential scientific calculations on a single huge processor.
NIST Parallel Applications Development Environment (PADE)
Parallel Applications Development Environment is a software development environment for parallel programs. Source code and documentation.
http://math.nist.gov/mcsd/savg/pade/

Extractions: We pronounce PADE like the family name of the French mathematician, Purpose: To facilitate development of parallel applications for heterogeneous networked computers. Strategy: Provides a single graphical user interface that incorporates all essential tools for development of parallel applications. The model is an extension of that of standard Unix-based development for a single processor. Implementation: PADE can employ any standard message-passing library for interprocessor communications. Its main purpose is to facilitate development on a heterogeneous network, so the current version utilizes the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) message passing library, a public domain application available for most Unix systems. It provides a graphical user interface that runs on the user's development host, which provides all utilities for development and maintenance of programs that run on nodes of the user's virtual machine. PADE incorporates: a program organizer a parallel make utility other NIST utilities for running PVM programs access to standard editors, debuggers, and performance monitors
PVM WIN32 PORT
Source code and papers.
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/NTport.html

Extractions: The PVM Team has developed a port of PVM 3.4 to WIN32 platforms. Win32 includes Windows95, Windows 98, and Windows NT Server/Workstation 4.0. The software allows clustering computers running Win32 or Win NT 4.0 with Unix workstations and/even MPP's together into one parallel virtual machine. After several beta releases compliant to pvm3.3.x, the PVM port to Win32 is now integrated into PVM 3.4 ! You will find it on netlib as well as in Markus Fischer's download area. People are encouraged to use the InstallShield version but the source is also available if they wish to recompile. A binary distribution for Alpha's running NT is also available. The package has been tested even on Quad Boards with 4 Pentium Pro's running Windows NT 4.0 Server. The PVM 3.4 beta 6 and beta 7 versions come with an InstallShield version where a wizard lets you decide where to install the package, which compilers you would like being supported and where some temporary files are ALLOWED to be stored ! (this was causing major problems on restricted NT boxes for example)
