Many current software infrastructures can exploit computing resources accessible via Internet to build computational grids or metacomputers, which can be used both to solve large-scale problems and to access distributed computing resources at low cost. However, computational grids and metacomputers are often characterized by a high level of heterogeneity with respect to the architecture of both computing nodes and interconnection networks. This paper describes the design of a multi-protocol communication architecture for metacomputing applications in Java. The paper analyses aspects regarding both the dynamic integration of different protocols in a metacomputer and the design of communication modules that can reduce the overhead tied to critical paths of communicating Java objects.
