Next: Array syntax in
Up: Experiments with ``HPJava''
Previous: Data-parallel example: main
Characteristics of the data-parallel style of programming:
-
Distribution format of arrays can be changed by altering a few
parameters at start of program (eg, change
Range to
CRange for cyclic distribution). Main program insensitive to
these details.
-
Low level message-passing abstracted into high-level collective
operations on distributed arrays.
Currently the communications in Node are implemented on
java.net sockets. Plan to provide a ``native-methods'' Java
interface to the full NPAC PCRC library.
