Description:	pvmsync is a distributed programming environment which provides
                synchronization mechanisms (mutexes, semaphores, and condition
                variables) and shared data objects, or primitives, (integer,
                floating point, and a block of memory) to processes distributed
                throughout a beowulf cluster. In other words, pvmsync provides
                location transparent, object-based distributed shared memory
                (DSM) and POSIX-like synchronization mechanisms cluster wide.
                The idea is to facilitate communications between processes
                running on a beowulf cluster in the form of shared data.
                Synchronization mechanisms are provided so that independent
                processes may voluntarily protect access to the shared data
                objects, and to coordinate their activities. The pvmsync client
                library offers an API for these services to C programmers.
