* Package name : slang-pvm Version : 0.1.5 Upstream Author : John Houck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://space.mit.edu/cxc/software/slang/modules/pvm/ * License : MIT [*] Description : PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) interface for S-Lang PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a software package which permits a heterogeneous collection computers connected by a network to be used as a single large parallel computer. . The S-Lang PVM module provides a S-Lang interface to PVM. By organizing distributed computations with S-Lang, one gains the advantages of programming in an interpreted language. . With this approach, one can make efficient use of all available computer resources: high level logic is handled in interpreted code, CPU intensive work is done in compiled code and PVM simplifies using all available CPUs. A preliminary version of the package is available at the apt-getable repository: http://people.debian.org/~rafael/slpvm The package will be collectively maintained by the Debian JED Group (http://pkg-jed.alioth.debian.org/).
