Foil 15 Remarks on HPJava -- Data Parallel Java - I

From Master Foilset Web Based Network Technologies for Scientific Computing CRPC NSF Review August 15-16 1996 -- 16 August 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Secs 106
1 As Java lies "inbetween" Fortran and C++, one can expect that data parallel Java can learn from corresponding HPF and HPC++ studies
2 "Parallel Compiler Runtime Consortium" produced a very rough draft
  • http://www.npac.syr.edu/users/gcf/hpjava3.html
3 Java does not support templates and STL approach of C++ not so natural
4 Need to recognize that performance of Objects in Java poorer than that of "simple types"
5 Java spans high level interpreted objects to low level optimally compiled "simple types"
