{\bf Abstract
{\small\em
This chapter introduces a new language, \emph{HPJava}, for parallel
programming on message passing systems, including workstation
clusters.  The language provides a high level SPMD programming model,
called \emph{HPspmd}.  Through examples and performance results, the
features of the new programming style, and its implementation, are
illustrated.
