SPMD programming in Java
Susan Flynn Hummel, Ton Ngo, Harini Srinivasan · Concurrency Practice and Experience · 1997
We consider the suitability of the Java concurrent constructs for writing high-performance SPMD code for parallel machines. More specifically, we investigate implementing a financial application in Java on a distributed-memory parallel machine. Despite the fact that Java was not expressly targeted to such applications and architectures per se, we conclude that efficient implementations are feasible. Finally, we propose a library of Java methods to facilitate SPMD programming. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
