Subject: Run time analysis on PVM?

Hi All..

I have started to use PVM to implement my parallel numerical codes. What I
need to do is to make predictions about the run time of the algorithms and
compare them with the experimental values. However, they differ quite a lot
than what I predicted. I couldn't figure out why? What latency value should I
assume for pvm programs. What is the cost of putting a message into the
network for example? I am working on IBM workstations here..

Thanks in advance for any suggestions?
