Abstract:
Java offers the basic infrastructure needed to integrate computers connected to the Internet into a seamless parallel computational resource: a flexible, easily-installed infrastructure for running coarsegrained parallel applications on numerous, anonymous machines. Ease of participation is seen as a key property for such a resource to realize the vision of a multiprocessing environment comprising thousands of computers. We present Javelin, a Java-based infrastructure for global computing. The system is based on Internet software technology that is essentially ubiquitous: Web technology. Its architecture and implementation require participants to have access only to a Java-enabled Web browser. The security constraints implied by this, the resulting architecture, and current implementation are presented. The Javelin architecture is intended to be a substrate on which various programming models may be implemented. Several such models are presented: A Linda Tuple Space, an SPMD programmin...
