Java Features -- It's Distributed (and can support parallel computing)
Popular TCP/IP based protocols such as FTP or HTTP are supported in terms of network protocol classes.
- This implements Java plus message passing and immediately supports various forms of distributed processing.
- New protocols, such as PVM and MPI, can be added and dynamically installed.
- Parallel computing can be built on top of these base classes.
Distributed computing model of Java is mainly client-server, with Java compiler preparing the opcodes at the server side, and Java interpreter executing it at the client side.
