If you want to run lpic as a single process + only, you can ignore this section. + + - PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine), "a software system that + enables a collection of heterogeneous computers to be used + as a coherent and flexible concurrent computational resource". + Homepage: http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html + Download source: http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/index.html + PVM's source code needs slight modifications in order to + compile on Mac OS X.
