A few days ago I had asked about the availability of parallel
programming software that would run in a UNIX environment on
a host of workstations connected via an Ethernet.

I would like to thank all the people who replied to my message.
I've appended the replies I received. Most of the replies
suggested the PVM package available for anonymous ftp at:
netlib2.cs.utk.edu. The sub-directory is /pvm3.
==============================================================

The Enterprise programming environment at 
C language
ftp.cs.ualberta.ca   pub/Enterprise

HeNCE/PVM	    
C and Fortran
netlib2.cs.utk.edu:/hence
netlib2.cs.utk.edu:/pvm3
Newsgroup: comp.parallel.pvm
Web page: http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html

For parallel I/O using PVM try PIOUS
ftp.mathcs.emory.edu
pub/vss

Mentat:
C++ 
ftp uvacs.cs.virginia.edu /pub/mentat

==============================================================
mpich from Argonne National Laboratoty.
info.mcs.anl.gov.think: /pub/MPI or /pub/mpich
pub/MPI or pub/mpich.
For manuals on Argonne software, check out the homepage at

==============================================================
LAM (Local Area Multicomputer)
runs on top of UNIX (SunOS, Solaris, SGI, IBM RS6K, DEC AXP,
HP, SCO) and provides both the Message Passing Interface (MPI)
and PVM APIs.  It also has parallel I/O. Available from:
http://www.osc.edu/lam.html
ftp://tbag.osc.edu/pub/lam

==============================================================
Myrias Computer Technologies will soon be releasing an
ftp'able, cut-down version of their parallel programming
environment It will probably not be available for about a
month though.

For more information, e-mail info@myrias.ab.ca and ask
for info on PAMS-LITE.

With PAMS you program in Fortran/C and PAMS takes
care of task distribution and load-balancing. The
message passing is taken care of by PAMS, you
parallelise parts of your code with simple
compiler directives.
