Abstract

We examine the differences between two message passing environments, PVM and Parix, and their impact on the implementation of applications. We outline Ensemble, a methodology for designing and implementing message passing applications by providing common software architecture. We outline Ensemble applied to PVM and Parix. We describe the mechanical porting of applications developed under Ensemble from one environment to the other
