PVM's "examples" directory (typically /usr/share/pvm3/examples or
/usr/local/pvm3/examples) contains a number of examples that are also
simple benchmarks.  There is a bandwidth tester and a latency tester, in
addition to a few simulated work examples for different programming
paradigms.  Because they are universally available they are convenient
to use for comparisons.  Because they directly measure parametric IPC
performance, they are also highly relevant.

Of course, if you're doing research on this anyway it's a great time to
consider turning these examples into a suite of more meaty benchmarks
and contributing them back...;-)
