Either the directory that you are running your model is replicated on each machine, or it is a distributed directory (NFS or some other distributed file system). The second option is better.
Create in your home directory(ies) a .rhosts file with the workstations
you will use. Start xpvm or pvm and add these workstations to the pvm network
(PVM command add <workstation>; XPVM: HostsOther
Host or read Help
Hosts to see how to create and use the
.xpvm_hosts configuration file). Now click on the Tangram's
Parallel check box and then the Simulate button. If you are
using xpvm, you will be able to see the interaction between the workstations.
NOTE: if you cannot add a machine to your PVM network, try running
rsh machine
and see if it requires the password to login. PVM is
not able to deal with passwords. The next step is to check, on each machine, if
the $PVM_ROOT environment variable has your PVM's root path (TANGRAM
II needs it also). Tips:
