4Abstract
PVM is an inexpensive, but extremely effective tool which allows a researcher to use workstations as nodes in a parallel processing environment to perform largescale computations. The numerical approximation and visualization of seismic waves propagating in the earth strains today's largest supercomputers. We present timings and visualization for large earth models run on a ring of IBM RS/6000's which illustrate PVM's capability of handling large-scale problems
