Abstract
Currently, PVM constitutes a widely used software for developing parallel applications in workstation and parallel environments. In this paper we propose a processors management system for PVM which allows to assign the PVM tasks over a computers system. The Processors Management System uses two task assignment heuristics. These heuristics are based on Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms.
