I was suggested to use BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) programming language and libraries rather than PVM. Is there anybody who have experience in the both parallel computing tools and would kindly give me some suggestions? I would like to know the comparision of BSP and PVM in linear algebra computatuons.
