Abstract of aJava Grande and Pragmatic Programming Environments

From aJava Grande and Pragmatic Programming Environments Invited Talk at ISCOPE 98, Santa Fe -- Dec 10 98. by Geoffrey Fox *

We give a poetic discussion of the Pragmatic Object Web and the nature of computer science and physics.
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
