Abstract

As Java is being considered an appropriate environment for high performance computing, we describe advanced techniques of highly expressive and efficient combining of Java with existing code in other languages. We present their example use in developing of Java wrappers for the lip — a runtime support library which enables easy and portable parallelization of irregular and out-of-core problems. Sample performance comparison results of out-of-core computations in Java and C are also presented.
