Abstract
The TPVM (Threads-oriented PVM) system is an experimental auxiliary subsystem for the PVM distributed system, which supports the use of lightweight processes or "threads" as the basic unit of parallelism and scheduling. TPVM provides a library interface which presents both a traditional, task based, explicit message passing model, as well as a data-driven scheduling model that enables straightforward specification of computation based on data dependencies.
