# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
# leave one space after the ':'.

pvm: PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine)
pvm:
pvm: PVM is a software system that enables a collection of heterogeneous
pvm: computers to be used as a coherent and flexible concurrent
pvm: computational resource. PVM support software executes on each machine
pvm: in a user-configurable pool, and presents a unified, general, and
pvm: powerful computational environment of concurrent applications. User
pvm: programs written in C or Fortran are provided access to PVM through
pvm: the use of calls to PVM library routines for functions such as process
pvm: initiation, message transmission and reception, and synchronization
pvm: via barriers or rendezvous.
