This report is the PVM version 2.3 users' guide. It contains an overview of PVM and how it is installed and used. Example programs in C and Fortran are included. PVM stands for Parallel Virtual Machine. It is a software package that allows the utilization of a heterogeneous network of parallel and serial computers as a single computational resource. PVM consists of two parts: a daemon process that any user can install on a machine, and a user library that contains routines for initiating process on other machines, for communicating between processes, and synchronizing process. 1 refs., 3 figs., 3 tabs.
