PVM3 (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a library and daemon that allows distributed processing environments to be constructed on heterogeneous machines and architectures. How does this help when your network's down?
No, PVM == 5684-100 Passthrough Virtual Machine It's a VM licensed product to that was popular for inter-system communications in the days where you had real terminals on a controlled that was connected to a single system. With PVM you could hop from one system to the other in your PVM network (built on CTCs). Sites with large SNA investments connected terminals to SNA controllers and FEP and would have no justification for running PVM and maintaining the connectivity for that. In addition to interactive 3270 sessions, PVM was also abused to cary CP-to-CP traffic for CSE. I believe this choice of connectivity is one of the reasons CSE never changed the world in the way it could have.
