Java Grande (a.k.a. Java for High Performance Computing) in a Nutshell

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

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

Discuss Java for Parallel Computing including message passing passing (MPI) and data parallelism

Give example of implied multi tier service architecture
