  • The PVM system is a programming environment for the development and execution of large concurrent or parallel applications that consist of many interacting, but relatively independent, components. It is intended to operate on a collection of heterogeneous computing elements interconnected by one or more networks. The participating processors may be scalar machines, multiprocessors, or special-purpose computers, enabling application components to execute on the architecture most appropriate to the algorithm. PVM provides a straightforward and general interface that permits the description of various types of algorithms (and their interactions), while the underlying infrastructure permits the execution of applications on a virtualmore » computing environment that supports multiple parallel computation models. PVM contains facilities for concurrent, sequential, or conditional execution of application components, is portable to a variety of architectures, and supports failure detection (and certain forms of recovery) at the process and processor levels. 16 refs., 5 figs.« less

  • This document contains introductory material that discusses cyber security challenges in using cloud computing in the electric utility industry.

  • CLOUD is an IBM 709 code which calculates the external gamma-ray dose rate and total integrated dose resulting from the continuous release of radioactive materials to the atmosphere. The code was programmed in FORTRAN II for a 32 K machine. Meteorological parameters such as wind velocity, lateral and vertical diffusion coefficients, stability parameters and the presence of physical boundaries such as a ground surface and a temperature inversion layer are considered. Depletion of the cloud due to wash-out and fall-out has also been included. A two compartment continuous release model is assumed. Decay of the source material is described eithermore » by the use of a simple parent-daughter decay scheme or by a Way-Wigner type relationship. The analytical expressions used in the analysis are developed and the programming techniques are described. A sample problem and a FORTRAN listing of the source deck are included. (auth)« less
