1. Create a link to FlexS/FTrees in

  ~pvm3/bin/<$PVM_ARCH>/<executable>

This link must be:

- NFS -readable

- correspond to the entry FLEXS/FTREES in the configuration file

  1. edit the config_sp.dat / config_ft.dat

PREDICT /an_nfs_readable_directory/predict/

PVM_TEMP /an_nfs_readable_directory/tmp/

TEMP /tmp             # a local temp is much faster

USE_PVM_FEATURE 1     # paralles vs serial computing

...

# -----------------------------------------------------

@PARALLEL

# -----------------------------------------------------

# DESCRIPTION:

# This section is for FlexX with PVM interface only.

# It describes the hosts where a parallel script

# can be executed. After each host name, the maximal

# number of allowed processes and the optional nice

# value follows.

# -----------------------------------------------------

node1 2 1    # <compute nodes> <nr of processes>

             #                 <small = high prio.>

node2 2 10

node3

  1. start PVM daemon (simply type: pvm); and leave PVM running (type:quit)
