Abstract

This paper presents an aspect-oriented library, coded in AspectJ, that aims to mimic the OpenMP standard for multicore programming in Java. Building the library on top of AspectJ intrinsically supports the sequential semantics of OpenMP. The library enables the use of parallelism related constructors in object-oriented systems due to better compatibility with inheritance, making it more suitable to introduce parallelism into object-oriented frameworks. However, it requires more program refactoring than OpenMP directives.
