Hi,

I have one more question on pvm's message delivery.  If I have 2 tasks running
on the same workstation, and they communicate using pvm, will pvm be smart
enough to use shared memory?  I'm worring about performance in here if pvm
can't distinguish tasks that need network communication versus tasks that
does not cross machine boundaries.  Will pvm treat all communicating tasks as
if they were all remote?

Thank you very much in advance.
