Hi there,

   
   It's much appreciated if anyone can give me a hint for my problem. I  have
 a  problem on running a PVM application (multiple processes) on nodes of
 Paragon. For example, one partition has 2*2 nodes (i860). I try to 
 run my PVM parallel application among these nodes on Intel Paragon. How do I 
 spedcify my pvm host file ?  Do I need to set up some
 scheduling betwween these nodes ? I try the hostfile like below but it 
 does not work. 
 
 -- PVMHost file --------------------------
 
 node1.number dx=/usr/local/Tools/pvm3/lib/pvmd ep=/home/ssu/Conques
 t/Archtype/PGON/Conq:/usr/local/Tools/pvm3/bin/PGON
 
 node2.number dx=/usr/local/Tools/pvm3/lib/pvmd ep=/home/ssu/Conques
 t/Archtype/PGON/Conq:/usr/local/Tools/pvm3/bin/PGON
 node3.number dx=/usr/local/Tools/pvm3/lib/pvmd ep=/home/ssu/Conques
 t/Archtype/PGON/Conq:/usr/local/Tools/pvm3/bin/PGON
 node4.number dx=/usr/local/Tools/pvm3/lib/pvmd ep=/home/ssu/Conques
 t/Archtype/PGON/Conq
 
-------------------------------------------------
 
  When I run it , the whole program will be hung on Paragon. This applicaion
  has   been run sucesfully on SUN4 and SUN4SOL2. -- multiple hosts. But I
 can  not make it run between nodes of Paragon. Could anyone having experience
running PVM application on nodes of Paragon give me some hits ? Thanks a lot in  advance.
 
 ..Vincent
