PVM (software)

PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a software system that allows multiple computers to work together as if they were one large machine. It enables the distribution of complex tasks across several computers, improving speed and efficiency. PVM manages the coordination, communication, and workload sharing between these computers, making it possible to run programs in parallel. This setup is useful in scientific research, simulations, and data processing where large computational power is needed. Essentially, PVM turns a network of individual computers into a unified, powerful system for executing demanding tasks more quickly.
