I'm very new to PVM and a bit confused about how it works with a
network of parallel and single processor machines.  We have a network
of one SGI Onyx with 4 processors, about 6 SGI Indigo's and about 4
Sun Sparc 10's.  What I don't understand is whether PVM will use all
four processors on the Onyx or not.  If not, how can I get it to use
them.

I know I can just try it and see what it does, but I would like to
know this before I put much effort into programming with it.

I'm sorry if this is a FAQ, but I haven't seen the answer in the FAQ.
It would be great if someone could just point me to some
documentation.

Please respond quicky as I'm in trouble with a deadline (as usual).

Thanks for any help,
Carl.
