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

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Sun MicroSystems Java Day at MIT (Marriot Hotel Cambridge MA) on Sept 25 1998. Foils prepared October 2 1998

We describe Java Grande in context of its Forum -- motivation and current status
  • a set of projects issues conferences and meetings
  • motivation discusses Java Grande as a language and where it is clearly good and where it could be good!
There are numerical and distributed computing issues
  • Improve floating point performance
  • Improve language for things like matrices, complex types etc.
  • Improve performance of base technologies such as RMI, JINI etc. which can greatly help large scale computations
  • Express parallelism
  • one project is a community activity to define Seamless interfaces allowing universal access to general hosts
