Q1. Execute the following code on PVM and show the screenshots of output in your solution.

# Import the PVM module

import pvm3

# Initialize PVM

pvm3.pvm_init()

# Get the number of tasks and your task ID

numtasks, mytid = pvm3.pvm_mytid()

# Define the message to be sent

message = "Hello, World!"

# Create a buffer for the message

bufid = pvm3.pvm_initsend(pvm3.PvmDataDefault)

# Pack the message into the buffer

pvm3.pvm_pkstr(message)

# Broadcast the message to all tasks

pvm3.pvm_bcast(pvm3.PvmTaskGroup, bufid, pvm3.PvmDataTag)

 # Finalize PVM

pvm3.pvm_exit()

if mytid == 0:

print(f"{mytid}: {message}")

# End of the program
