Towards OpenMP for Java
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes JOMP, a definition and implementation of a set of directives and library methods for shared memory parallel programming in Java. A specification of the OpenMP-like directives and methods is proposed. A prototype implementation, consisting of a compiler and a runtime library (both written entirely in Java) is presented, which implements almost all of the proposed specification. Some preliminary performance results are also presented.

A Proposal for OpenMP for Java
The current OpenMP 2.5 specification does not include a binding for the Java programming language. However, Java is a wide-spread programming language that is even used for HPC programming. We propose an adaptation of OpenMP to Java by retrofitting the basic OpenMP directives to Java and further propose some new concepts to make OpenMP fit into Java’s language philosophy. We discuss how Java’s ...
متن کاملJaMP: an implementation of OpenMP for a Java DSM
In this paper we present JaMP, an adaptation of the OpenMP standard. JaMP is fitted to Jackal, a software-based DSM implementation for Java. While the set of supported directives is directly adopted from the OpenMP standard, we also satisfy all requirements that are enforced by the Java Language Specification and the Java Memory Model. JaMP implements a (large) subset of the OpenMP specificatio...
متن کاملStrategies for the efficient exploitation of loop-level parallelism in Java
This paper analyzes the overheads incurred in the exploitation of loop-level parallelism using Java Threads and proposes some code transformations that minimize them. The transformations avoid the intensive use of Java Threads and reduce the number of classes used to specify the parallelism in the application (which reduces the time for class loading). The use of such transformations results in...
متن کاملProgramming Parallel Pipelines Using Non-Parallel C# Code
Parallel and high-performance code is usually created as imperative code in FORTRAN, C, C++ with the help of parallel environments like OpenMP or Intel TBB. However, learning these languages is quite difficult compared to C# or Java. Although these modern languages have numerous parallel features, they lack the automatic parallelization or load distribution features known from specialized paral...
متن کاملApplication/Kernel Cooperation Towards the Efficient Execution of Shared-Memory Parallel Java Codes
In this paper we propose mechanisms to improve the performance of parallel Java applications executing on multiprogrammed shared-memory multiprocessors. The proposal is based on a dialog between each Java application and the underlying execution environment (mainly the resource manager in the kernel) so that both cooperate on improving the overall performance (individual application speedup and...
