This package provides an object-oriented Java interface to the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard that can be used on parallel and/or distributed computing platforms.  The release includes the Java Native Interface (JNI) C stubs that binds the Java interfaceto the underlying native MPI C interface. The release also includes a comprehensive test suite for the Java interface, created by translating the IBM MPI test suite to Java as well as some simple examples.

The Java API is defined in the document A Draft Java Binding for MPI   found the the doc subdirectory.

We have tested the software with

1. Sun Machines running SunOS 5.4 (Solaris), SGI Machines running IRIX 6.2, WinTel NT 4 (SP3)
2. Java JDK 1.1.x installed
3. MPICH 1.0.13 installed and WMPI 1.1

Other platforms have not been tested.

Installation
 
To install mpiJava it is necesary to have a release of  Java JDK and MPI on the machines that you intend to run
your parallel or distributed mpiJava Jobs. Instructions on how to install mpiJava:
