Abstract This paper describes the definition and implementation of an OpenMP‐like set of directives and library routines for shared memory parallel programming in Java. A specification of the directives and routines is proposed and discussed. A prototype implementation, consisting of a compiler and a runtime library, both written entirely in Java, is presented, which implements most of the proposed specification. Some preliminary performance results are reported. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
