Hi:

I have been teaching a course on Parallel Algorithms for
Undergraduate students - using MasPar MP-1 for programming.
Unfortunately MP-1 has crashed and the cost of repairs and labor
is too much. I would like to use PVM on a network of
workstations and use this platform for the programming exercises.

In this regard I would welcome any inputs from your experiences;
1. feasibility
2. sample exercise problems
3. tutorial notes

Thanks in advance

Mohan
