You may like to see the paper I wrote with Brian Grant from Supercomputing '93.
It is a good, short explanation of differences and advantages of MPI v. PVM.
More is coming.  Also, Bill Saphir of NASA Ames has shown some performance
differences among optimized MPI's and PVM-e for IBM SP-1, but he can't 
distribute this outside the US because of NASA bureaucracy.
