Specifies the path that should be used when starting a PVM 3.3 slave process. This is used for PVM 3.3 only and is translated into the ep keyword as defined in the PVM 3.3 hosts file.
For example:
parallel_path = /home/userid/cmds/pvm3/$PVM_ARCH:$PVM_ROOT/lib/$PVM_ARCH
The parallel_path statement above has two components, separated by a colon. The first component points to the location of the user's programs. The second component points to the location of the pvmgs routine - required if the job uses PVM 3.3 group support - assuming PVM 3.3 is installed "normally". Note that your installation must install PVM 3.3 to include group support in order for you to use group support within LoadLeveler. $PVM_ARCH will be replaced by the architecture of the machine, as defined by PVM 3.3. This will specify the path to be searched for executables when the user's job issues a pvm_spawn() command.
$PVM_ARCH, and $PVM_ROOT are PVM environment variables. For more information, see the appropriate PVM 3.3 documentation.
