Cluster computing provides a distributed memory model to users and therefore requires message-passingprotocols to exchange data.Among message-passing protocols (such as MPI, PVM, ESP), MPI (MessagePassing Interface) and PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) are adopted as most popular protocols for distributed memory computing model.In this paper, we give a practical comparative study on the performance of MPICH 1.2.1, LAM/MPI6.3.2 and PVM 3.4.2implementations of the MPI and PVM protocols, on a Linux cluster over our Fast Ethernet network.We also compare some parallel applications' performance runging over the three environments.T6m tJ{t.Cum may tinh cung dLp cho ngiro-isd' dung m9t moi tru-o-ngtinh toan theo kie'u b9 nh& ph an tan, do do c'an co cac giao thirc chuye'n thong di~p M trao do'i dir li~u.Trong s5 cac giao thirc chuye'n thong di~p (vi du MPI, PVM, ESP), MPI va PVM 111,cac giao thtrc dtro'c su: dung nhieu nhfit.Trong bai nay, chung toi dira ra Slr so
