Description
In this report, we present PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) from a practical point of view. As an illustration, we propose to study the implementation of a Monte-Carlo code. PVM is a software package allowing to build a parallel machine from several heterogeneous computers on a network. We aim to determine the interest of the package, and what could be expected with it, and also to study the parallelization of a Monte-Carlo code, according to the target parallel architecture.

Abstract (French)
Dans ce rapport, nous presentons d'un point de vue pratique le systeme PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine), avec une illustration 'reelle' sur un code de Monte-Carlo. PVM est un ensemble logiciel qui permet de considerer comme une machine parallele un certain nombre de machines sequentielles reliees par un reseau. Notre but est d'une part de connaitre les interets eventuels de ce produit, avec ce que l'on peut en attendre, et d'autre part d'etudier la parallelisation d'un code de Monte-Carlo avec les adaptations a faire en fonction de la machine parallele cible.
