SPMD programming in Java']Java

We consider the suitability of the Java concurrent constructs for writing high-performance SPMD code for parallel machines, More specifically, we investigate implementing a financial application in Java on a distributed-memory parallel machine, Despite the fact that Java was not expressly targeted to such applications and architectures per se, we conclude that efficient implementations are feasible, Finally, we propose a library of Java methods to facilitate SPMD programming.
