Abstract

This paper proposes a new benchmark suite for use with research in Java for HPC, and introduces the first set of applications that are all of the embarrassingly parallel type. The applications are implemented using threads and four kinds of networked IPC mechanisms. The tested APIs include both native Java NIPC's and interfaced to native code NIPC's. The results show that there is huge differences in the scalability of the tested API's, even for embarrassingly parallel applications.
