Java-based coupling for parallel predictive- adaptive domain decomposition

摘要

Adaptive domain decomposition exemplifies the problem of integrating heterogeneous software components with inter- mediate coupling granularity. This paper describes an exper- iment where a data-parallel (HPF) client interfaces with a sequential computation server through Java. We show that seamless integration of data-parallelism is possible, but re- quires most of the tools from the Java palette: Java Native In- terface (JNI), Remote Method invocation (RMI), callbacks and threads.
