CS 160 Lab 5

Eisenberg-McGuire Algorithm and PVM first step

Objective

1. Get to know Eisenberg McGuire Algorithm
2. Get to know Parallel Virtual Machine
3. setup PVM environment correctly
4. run PVM examples

Outline of Lab

1. Eisenberg McGuire Algorithm
2. Parallel Virtual Machine
3. Secure Shell configuration

   	0. cd
   	1. ssh-keygen
    	2. cd .ssh
    	3. cp identity.pub authorized_keys
    	4. create a file named "environment" , put the following in it
   		PVM_ROOT=/usr/local/pkgs/pvm3
   		PVM_ARCH=LINUX
   

4. Set environment variables

   	for bash: 
   in your .bashrc file add the following line
   	 	export PVM_ROOT=/usr/local/pkgs/pvm3
   then append file /usr/local/pkgs/pvm3/lib/bashrc.stub to .bashrc
   at last uncomment the appropriate lines
   
   	for csh: 
   in your .cshrc file add the following line
   		setenv PVM_ROOT /usr/local/pkgs/pvm3
   then append file /usr/local/pkgs/pvm3/lib/cshrc.stub to .bashrc
   at last uncomment the appropriate lines
   

5. Startup PVM

   	$ ssh hill $PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd -s
   it should print out two line of message, we do not care about them now.
   	$ pvm
   	pvm>
   

6. Examples of PVM applications

   	cd
   	mkdir pvm3
   	cd pvm3
   	mkdir bin
   	mkdir examples
   	cd examples
   	cp $PVM_ROOT/examples/* .
   	cp $PVM_ROOT/include/* .
   	aimk
   
   you are encouraged to run those example programs and read the codes.
