NAME
xpvm - graphical console and monitor for PVM
SYNOPSIS
xpvm [ hostfile ] [ -P | -O ] [-T trace ] [-N name ] [-M nbytes ]
[ -Hsetv ]
DESCRIPTION
xpvm is a tool to monitor PVM and applications using it. It provides a
graphical interface to the PVM console commands and information, along
with several animated views to monitor the execution of PVM programs.
These views provide information about the interactions among tasks in a
parallel PVM program, to assist in debugging and performance tuning.
OPTIONS
-H display usage information
-v verbose operation
-P start xpvm in playback mode
-O start xpvm in overwrite mode
-S dump SDDF trace file headers and exit.
-e dump raw PVM event text
-t text mode, no animation in views
hostfile
xpvm will normally use the file $HOME/.xpvmhosts to create and
configure the pvm. You can override this behaviour by
specifying hostfile on the command line.
-T trace
xpvm will normally create and store a trace file in the user’s
home directory. To have the trace file stored in some other
location, use this option.
-N name
use the specified name as the local hostname
-M nbytes
set the default message size to nbytes
FILES
xpvm will check for the existence of $HOME/.xpvm_hosts and use it to
configure the list of hostnames available.
