Divide-and-conquer programs are easily parallelized by letting the programmer annotate
potential parallelism in the form of spawn and sync constructs. To achieve efficient program …

We evaluate the performance of Manta using benchmarks and applications that run on a 32-
node Myrinet cluster. The time for a null-RMI (without parameters or a return value) of Manta …

This article analyses two most commonly used distributed models in Java: Web services and
RMI (Remote Method Invocation). The paper focuses on regular (unsecured) as well as on …

Abstract In current Java implementations, Remote Method Invocation (RMI) is too slow,
especially for high‐performance computing. RMI is designed for wide‐area and high …

The Distributed ASCI Supercomputer (DAS) is a homogeneous wide-area distributed system
consisting of four cluster computers at different locations. DAS has been used for research …

Parallel Java is a parallel programming API whose goals are (1) to support both shared
memory (thread-based) parallel programming and cluster (message-based) parallel …

Distributed software component architectures provide promising approach to the problem of
building large scale, scientific Grid applications [18]. Communication in these component …

This paper studies application performance on systems with strongly non-uniform remote
memory access. In current generation NUMAs the speed difference between the slowest …

Underpinning both parallel and Grid computing is the common need for coordination and
communication mechanisms allowing multiple resources to be applied in a concerted …

Implementing efficient communication and I/O mechanisms in Java requires both fast access
to low‐level system resources (such as network and raw disk interfaces) and direct …
