Abstrakt: We present a communication library to improve performance of PVM. The new library introduces communication primitives based on Active Messages. We propose a hybrid scheme that includes a signal driven message notification scheme plus controlled polling. The new communication library is tested along with the normal PVM library to assess the improvement in performance.
