Hi,

as far as I read, PVM scheduling works with a
threshold concept in the process scheduling.

Is it possible to change this threshold value
 a.) from a application program (if, how?)
 b.) in the libs (where?)

For some applications I have very few but very
compute intensive processes, so that a threshold of
one would be very useful, so that every machine has
at least one job running before there are added more.
(For other purposes with a lot of small jobs the 
default strategy works well).

I use mainly HPPA and SGI5 with PVM3.3.4.

Kind regards
                   Peter
