+PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a portable message-passing programming
+system, designed to link separate host machines to form a ``virtual
+machine'' which is a single, manageable computing resource.
+
+The virtual machine can be composed of hosts of varying types, in
+physically remote locations. PVM applications can be composed of any
+number of separate processes, or components, written in a mixture of C,
+C++ and Fortran. The system is portable to a wide variety of
+architectures, including workstations, multiprocessors, supercomputers and
+PCs.
+
+PVM is a byproduct of ongoing research at several institutions, and is
+made available to the public free of charge.
