MPJ: A New Look at MPI for Java

MPJ/Ibis: A Flexible and Efficient Message Passing Platform for Java

The MPJ programming interface has been defined by the Java Grande forum to provide MPI-like message passing for Java applications. In this paper, we present MPJ/Ibis, the first implementation of MPJ based on our Ibis programming environment for cluster and grid computing. By exploiting both flexibility and efficiency of Ibis, our MPJ implementation delivers high-performance communication, while...

A Buffering Layer to Support Derived Types and Proprietary Networks for Java HPC

Abstract. MPJ Express is our implementation of MPI-like bindings for Java. In this paper we discuss our intermediate buffering layer that makes use of the so-called direct byte buffers introduced in the Java New I/O package. The purpose of this layer is to support the implementation of derived datatypes. MPJ Express is the first Java messaging library that implements this feature using pure Jav...

MPJ: A Proposed Java Message Passing API and Environment for High Performance Computing

In this paper we sketch out a proposed reference implementation for message passing in Java (MPJ), an MPI-like API from the Message-Passing Working Group of the Java Grande Forum [1,2]. The proposal relies heavily on RMI and Jini for finding computational resources, creating slave processes, and handling failures. User-level communication is implemented efficiently directly on top of Java sockets.

MPJ Express Meets YARN: Towards Java HPC on Hadoop Systems

Many organizations—including academic, research, commercial institutions—have invested heavily in setting up High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities for running computational science applications. On the other hand, the Apache Hadoop software—after emerging in 2005— has become a popular, reliable, and scalable open-source framework for processing large-scale data (Big Data). Realizing the i...
