Foil 35 Java Features -- It's Distributed (and can support parallel computing)

From Introduction to Java Tutorial Aimed at Scientific Users NAVO Tutorial -- Sept 23 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Popular TCP/IP based protocols such as FTP or HTTP are supported in terms of network protocol classes.
  • This implements Java plus message passing and immediately supports various forms of distributed processing.
  • New protocols, such as PVM and MPI, can be added and dynamically installed.
  • Parallel computing can be built on top of these base classes.
Distributed computing model of Java is mainly client-server, with Java compiler preparing the opcodes at the server side, and Java interpreter executing it at the client side.
