In this paper we present a way of successfully tackling the diiculties of binding MPI to Java with a view to ensuring portability. We have created a tool for automatically binding existing native C libraries to Java, and have applied the Java{to{C Interface generating tool (JCI) to bind MPI to Java. The approach of automatic binding by JCI ensures both portability across diierent platforms and ...

These two articles in the JCI are almost the most-cited doublet in the Journal's entire archive.
