  <DESCRIPTION>
    <P>
    is a software system that enables a collection of heterogeneous
    computers to be used as a coherent and flexible concurrent computational
    resource.</P>
    <P>
    The individual computers may be shared- or local-memory multiprocessors,
    vector supercomputers, specialized graphics engines, or scalar
    workstations, that may be interconnected by a variety of networks,
    such as ethernet, FDDI.</P>
    <P>
    Daemon programs (<VERB>pvmd3</VERB>) provide communication and process control
    between computers (see PVM manpage and manual for more details).</P>
    <P>
    Most important functions of the PVM communication library are included in Scilab.</P>
