It's the "parallel virtual machine", an implementation of an API for
writing parallel scientific applications using message passing. It was
popular over a decade ago; I wouldn't have guessed anyone even used it
any more (the most recent release notes say "ported to NT 3.51!"), much
less with valgrind.
It's long since been superseded by MPI ("message passing interface"),
which is a widely used standard for doing the same sort of thing.
