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.

SEE ALSO

BUGS
