SUMMARY Due to its platform-independent execution model, its support for networking, multithreading and mobile code, Java has given hope that easy Internet-wide high-performance network computing was at hand. Numerous attempts have then been made at providing a framework for the development of such metacomputing applications. Unfortunately, none of them addresses seamless sequential, multithreaded and distributed computing , i.e. the execution of the same application on a multiprocessor shared…

Compiling Multithreaded Java Bytecode for Distributed Execution (Distinguished Paper)

Our work combines Java compilation to native code with a run-time library that executes Java threads in a distributed-memory environment. This allows a Java programmer to view a cluster of processors…

Java on networks of workstations (JavaNOW): a parallel computing framework inspired by Linda and the Message Passing Interface (MPI)

Networks of workstations are a dominant force in the distributed computing arena, due primarily to the excellent price/performance ratio of such systems when compared to traditionally massively…

This work combines Java compilation to native code with a run-time library that executes Java threads in a distributed-memory environment with true parallelism and designed, implemented and experimented with two alternative consistency protocols compliant with the Java Memory Model.

A Java Framework for Distributed High Performance Computing

OpusJava is presented, a Java based framework for Distributed High Performance Computing (DHPC) that provides a high level component infrastructure and facilitates a seamless integration of high performance Opus (i.e., HPF) modules into larger distributed environments.

Adapting Active Objects to Multicore Architectures

This paper proposes an extension to the active object programming model which optimizes the local performance of applications by harnessing the full computing power of multi-core CPUs and describes the addition of meta-information to the methods in the source code.

An Overview of Parallel and Distributed Java for Heterogeneous Systems: Approaches and Open Issues

The study shows that most projects fit within one of the following parallel programming models: (1) message (or object-) passing, (2) distributed shared address, (3) multi-threaded, and (4) transparent (or towards seamless) parallelization.

Middleware Infrastructure for Parallel and Distributed Programming Models in Heterogeneous Systems

A middleware infrastructure that provides software services for developing and deploying high-performance parallel programming models and distributed applications on clusters and networked heterogeneous systems and a framework for the agents' startup mechanism and organization is introduced to provide scalable deployment and communication among the agents.

Programming and parallelising applications for distributed infrastructures

This thesis provides a fairly comprehensive evaluation of Java StarSs, a programming model and runtime system for developing and parallelising Java applications on distributed infrastructures and demonstrates how the model can bring remarkable productivity to programmers of parallel distributed applications.

Java/DSM: A Platform for Heterogeneous Computing

Compared with existing approaches for heterogeneous computing, this system transparently handles both the hardware differences and the distributed nature of the system and is therefore much easier to program.

Asynchronous Remote Method Invocation (ARMI) Mechanism for Java

ARMI (asynchronous RMI), a mechanism which is built on top of RMI and allows concurrent execution of local and remote computations and the salient features and implementation details of ARMI are presented.

JavaParty - Transparent Remote Objects in Java

JavaParty transparently adds remote objects to Java purely by declaration while avoiding disadvantages of explicit socket communication, the programming overhead of RMI, and many disadvantages of the message-passing approach in general.
