A Wrapper Generator for Wrapping High Performance Legacy Codes as Java/CORBA Components
M. Li, OMER F. RANA, Matt Shields, DAVID W. WALKER · 2000
This paper describes a Wrapper Generator for wrapping high performance legacy codes as Java/CORBA components for use in a distributed component-based problemsolving environment. Using the Wrapper Generator we have automaticallywrapped an MPI-based legacycode as a single CORBA object, and implemented a problemsolving environment for molecular dynamic simulations. Performance comparisons between runs of the CORBA object and the original legacycode on a cluster of workstations and on a parallel computer are also presented.
