Today, software developers face the challenge of re-engineering their applications to exploit the full power of the new emerging many-core processors. However, a uniform high-level programming model and interface for parallelising Java applications is still missing. In this paper, we propose a new Java-based programming model for shared memory many-core parallel computers as an extension to the JavaSymphony distributed programming environment. The concept of dynamic virtual architecture allows modelling of hierarchical resource topologies ranging from individual cores and multi-core processors to more complex parallel computers and distributed Grid infrastructures. On top of this virtual architecture, objects can be explicitly distributed, migrated, and invoked, enabling high-level user control of parallelism, locality, and load balancing. We evaluate the JavaSymphony programming model and the new shared memory run-time environment for six real applications and benchmarks on a modern multi-core parallel computer. We report scalability analysis results that demonstrate that JavaSymphony outperforms pure Java implementations, as well as other alternative related solutions.
