چکیده

The paper discusses use of the Java object serialization model for marshalling communication data in Java bindings of the Message Passing Interface standard, MPI. This approach is compared with a Java transcription of the derived datatype mechanism used for bu er description in C and Fortran bindings of MPI. We describe an implementation of the mpiJava interface to MPI incorporating automatic object serialization. The programming model is attractive, though benchmark results show that the current JDK implementation of serialization is not fast enough for high performance applications. Strategies to improve this situation are discussed.

MPIJAVA: An Object-Oriented JAVA Interface to MPI

A basic prerequisite for parallel programming is a good communication API. The recent interest in using Java for scienti c and engineering application has led to several international e orts to produce a message passing interface to support parallel computation. In this paper we describe and then discuss the syntax, functionality and performance of one such interface, mpiJava, an object-oriente...

The Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard provides a uniform Application Programmers Interface (API) that abstracts the underlying hardware from the parallel ap-s the underlying hardware from the parallel applications.

CCJ: object-based message passing and collective communication in Java

CCJ is a communication library that adds MPI-like message passing and collective operations to Java. Rather than trying to adhere to the precise MPI syntax, CCJ aims at a clean integration of communication into Java’s object-oriented framework. For example, CCJ uses thread groups to support Java’s multithreading model and it allows any data structure (not just arrays) to be communicated. CCJ is...
