+PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a portable message-passing programming
+system, designed to link separate host machines to form a virtual
+machine which is a single, manageable computing resource.
+
+The virtual machine can be composed of hosts of different architectures,
+located in physically remote locations. PVM applications can be composed of any
+number of separate processes, or components, written in a mixture of C,
+C++ and Fortran. The system is portable to a wide variety of
+architectures, including workstations, multiprocessors, supercomputers and
+PCs.
