HPJava is an environment for <i>SPMD</i> (Single Program, Multiple
Data) parallel programming - especially, for SPMD programming with
distributed arrays.

<p>

The acronym ``HPJava'' was coined in a draft white paper produced by
members of the PCRC consortium early in 1996.  NPAC adopted the name
for its Java environment for SPMD computing.  This environment will
eventually contain Java bindings for distributed-array based libraries,
general MIMD programming libraries, and a preprocessor for an extended
dialect of Java.

<p>

The HPJava language model was motivated by work on HPF during in the
PCRC project - it captures the HPF distributed array model in special
syntax, but assumes that the programmer directly calls high-level
runtime functions for communication and array manipulation.

<p>

In the last year the HPJava language definition has been developed and
refined.  Work on a translator is in progress.  Java bindings of
various runtime functions have been implemented.  The first useable
component of the HPJava environment is the recently released
<em>mpiJava</em> binding of MPI.
