Wire-area parallel computing in Java

Year: 1999

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Java's support for parallel and distributed processing makes the language attractive for metacomputing applications, such as parallel applications that run on geographically distributed (wide-area) systems.To obtain actual experience with a Java-centric approach to metacomputing, we have built and used a high-performance widearea Java system, called Manta.Manta implements the Java RMI model using different communication protocols (active messages and TCP/IP) for different networks.The paper shows how widearea parallel applications can be expressed and optimized using Java RMI.Also, it presents performance results of several applications on a wide-area system consisting of four Myrinet-based clusters connected by ATM WANs.
