Jade: A Parallel Message-Driven Java

摘要

We present Java, a Java-like language will parallel message-driven features. The parallel constructs include parallel classes called Chares and parallel arrays of objects called ChareArrays. Communication with a parallel object occurs through asynchronous method invocation. In the message-driven paradigm, when a method of a Chare or ChareArray is invoked, it continues to completion before and other method of the same parallel object can run. In contrast to Java's runtime compilation, the Java source code is translated to Charm++ source code, which is then compiled and executed on the target machine. The resulting code supports object migration and load-balancing and scales well to large number of processors. Java's standard libraries are not supported.
