✦ Synopsis

The performance of Java just-in-time compilers currently approaches native C++, making Java a serious contender for supercomputing application development. This paper presents DOGMA -a new Java based system which enables parallel computing on heterogeneous computers. DOGMA supports parallel programming in both a traditional message-passing form and a novel object-oriented approach. DOGMA provides support for dedicated clusters as well as idle workstations through the use of a web-based browse-in feature or the DOGMA screen saver. This research provides a unified environment for developing high-performance supercomputing applications on heterogeneous systems.
