Abstract

The JavaPorts system is an environment that facilitates the rapid development of modular, reusable, Java-based parallel and distributed applications for networked machines with heterogeneous properties. The main goals of the JavaPorts system are to provide developers with: (i) the capability to quickly generate reusable software components (code templates) for the concurrent tasks of an application; (ii) a Java interface allowing anonymous message passing among concurrent tasks while keeping the details of the coordination code hidden; (iii) tools that make it easy to define, assemble and reconfigure concurrent applications on clusters using pre-existing and/or new software components. In this paper we provide an overview of the current state of the system placing more emphasis on the tools that support parallel applications development and deployment.
