Overview:

Java offers a number of benefits as a language for High Performance Computing (HPC), especially in the context of the Computational Grid. The first section of this paper summarises these benefits with an aim of motivating the use of Java for HPC. Although Java offers a number of potential benefits, there are a number of issues surrounding the use of Java for HPC, principally performance, numerics and parallelism. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that performance no longer prohibits Java as a base language for HPC and that the available parallel models offer realistic mechanisms for the development of parallel applications.
