Abstract of aJava Grande and Pragmatic Programming Environments

From aJava Grande and Pragmatic Programming Environments Invited Talk at ISCOPE 98, Santa Fe -- Dec 10 98. by Geoffrey Fox *

1 We give a poetic discussion of the Pragmatic Object Web and the nature of computer science and physics.
2 We describe Java Grande -- definition, motivation and current status
  • motivation discusses Java as a language and where it is clearly good and where it could be good!
  • Describe 3 very different aspects of computation where Java can be used
3 The Java Grande Forum has numerical and distributed computing working groups and projects include
  • study changes to Java and its runtime to enhance Grande applications and their programming environment
  • community activity to define seamless interfaces allowing universal access to general hosts
4 Discuss Java for Parallel Computing including message passing passing (MPI) and data parallelism
