Java as Glue for Distributed, High-Performance Computing

Andrew Silis, K.A.Hawick and H.A.James

Abstract

We describe our use of Java as an integration mechanism for a wide-area distributed high-performance computing framework. Our DISCWorld system uses a symmetric model of communicating servers to satisfy user queries for scheduling high-granularity services. We discuss the software architecture of the DISCWorld daemon that runs on each participating host and the advantages and disadvantages of a Java based infrastructure for this model.
