abstract = "This looks at the issues which arose in porting the
pvmmake utility from pvm to mpi. Pvmmake is a pvm
application which allows a user to send files, execute
commands, and receive results from a single machine on
any machine in the virtual machine. It's actions are
controlled by the contents of an agenda file. It's most
common use is to enable management of the development
of a parallel program in a heterogeneous environment. A
utility with the same features, mpimake, was coded up
to run under LAM.
Genetic programming is an algorithm which evolves a program to solve your input problem. The implementation under MPI requires the transfer of data structures such as lists and trees. The match between the requirements of this algorithm and the datatype feature in mpi will be discussed.",
