abstract

Unify is a subset of MPI (Message Passing Interface) that has been
built on top of PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine). Unify is a dual-API
(Application Program Interface) system. Users may write an application
containing only MPI calls, or a mixture of MPI and PVM calls.
The resulting executable will run in the PVM environment. This subset
has been built to show the relative ease of implementation of MPI,
and also to ease the migration of code from PVM to MPI.
