Description
Summary:In this study, at first, Parallel Virtual Machine is reviewed. Since It is based upon parallel processing, it is similar to parallel systems in principle in terms of architecture. Parallel Virtual Machine is neither an operating system nor a programming language. It is a specific software tool that supports heterogeneous parallel systems. However, it takes advantage of the features of both to make users close to parallel systems. Since tasks can be executed in parallel on parallel systems by Parallel Virtual Machine, there is an important similarity between PVM and distributed systems and multiple processors. In this study, the relations in question are examined by making use of Master-Slave programming technique. In conclusion, the PVM is tested with a simple factorial computation on a distributed system to observe its adaptation to parallel architects.
