Abstract
The paper presents the experience of porting the PVM message-passing environment to EMMA2E, an industrial, shared-memory multiprocessor architecture. The work is still ongoing in the framework of the ESPRIT "EUROPORT2" project, aiming to demonstrate practical availability of portable parallel applications with related industrial and commercial benefits. The project framework, the EMMA2E architecture and the related system software are briefly introduced, followed by the main features of PVM porting solution. This last especially aims to join PVM general and portable programming model with the run-time efficiency achievable in a sharedmemory environment. 1. EUROPORT2 and PULSAR EUROPORT2 is a project in the ESPRIT III framework, aiming to develop portable parallel applications in order to demonstrate that parallel computing may be employed in industrial and commercial environments on a large scale.
