With the progress of parallel technology and the demand of parallel programs developing,a method to simulate parallel com-puting network is introduced with one PC by using VMware.It works as this: A VMware simulate several absolute computers where multiple Linuxsystemsare installed,then it is converted into a virtual parallelnetwork as the same as a real parallel system by configuring parallel environment.This method is proved to be feasible by MPI program testing,and a good way to the research of establishing a high performance computing platform based on Itanium structure is provided,and the finacial investment of theresearchand development are decreased.
