Hello,

I would like to get some input on the use of PVM on Silicon Graphics Power 
Challenge. In particular, I am interested in hearing about experiences with 
respect to software stability and efficiency. Being a shared memory 
environment, I guess that a message-passing protocol is not the optimal tool.
However, we would like to benefit from the portability offered by a common
standard. Any opinions on how bad (or good) the PVM protocol will be for
this particular computer?

Best regards
