The research funded by this grant is part of an ongoing research project in heterogeneous distributed computing with the PVM system, at Emory as well as at Oak Ridge Labs and the University of Tennessee. This grant primarily supports research at Emory that continues to evolve new concepts and systems in distributed computing, but it also includes the PI`s ongoing interaction with the other groups in terms of collaborative research as well as software systems development and maintenance. We have continued our second year efforts (July 1995 - June 1996), on the same topics as during the first year, namely (a) visualization of PVM programs to complement XPVM displays; (b) I/O and generalized distributed computing in PVM; and (c) evolution of a multithreaded concurrent computing model. 12 refs
