Scilab description

pvm - communications with other applications using Parallel Virutal Machine

### Description

is a software system that enables a collection of heterogeneous computers to be used as a coherent and flexible concurrent computational resource.

The individual computers may be shared- or local-memory multiprocessors, vector supercomputers, specialized graphics engines, or scalar workstations, that may be interconnected by a variety of networks, such as ethernet, FDDI.

Daemon programs (`pvmd3`) provide communication and process control between computers (see PVM manpage and manual for more details).

Most important functions of the PVM communication library are included in Scilab.

### WARNING

PVM must be installed in your envriromnent before using it in Scilab. PVM scilab have been developped using the version 3.3.7 of the PVM library.
