Abstract

The Java Grande Forum aims to extend the functionality of Java to provide better support for large-scale distributed and high-performance computing, particularly for science and engineering applications. I will present an overview of some of the projects being undertaken by our research group that relate to the Java Grande efforts. Our main project is the development of a Java middleware infrastructure (called DISCWorld) to support large-scale distributed computing applications. Other projects include the development and porting of scientific benchmark programs in Java, such as the NAS parallel benchmarks, for use in the Java Grande Forum Benchmark Suite. I will also briefly discuss the possibilities for developing an API for a Java Scientific Software Library, and the work we have done on developing a proposed API and reference implementation for a random number generator library.
