The PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) system enables supercomputer level concurrent computations to be performed on interconnected networks of heterogeneous computer systems. Specifically, a network of 13 IBM RS/6000 powerstations has been used to run superconductor modeling codes at more than 250 Mflops. This paper describes the PVM system and two example applications running on it.
