MPI resources from HPCC at Southampton containing pointers
to other resources and archives with yet more resources on the
subject. (UK)
-
MPI: The Complete Reference by Dongarra et al. is a complete MPI
book online covering all aspects of MPI. (Netlib)
- A list of MPI implementations for
various systems from Ohio Supercomputer Center. This is
quite a valuable list of both commercial as well as publicly available
MPI implementations. Each entry gives the name of the package, author or
owner, current version, MPI functions implemented, availability of the code,
and supported systems. (Ohio)
- MPI
Tutorials is a list of tutorials as well as other documents
on learning MPI such as FAQs, lessons learned, MPI-inspired definitions,
and quick overviews from Argonne National Laboratory. (ANL)
- The MPI Chapter
from Foster's textbook at Argonne National Laboratory. (ANL)

Directory of MPI resources at the Engineering Research Center of
Mississippi State. (MsState)
- A list of Tutorials and Lab Exercises are available at the MPI's page
of Cornell Theory Center. (Cornell)
-
Applications and Examples Using MPI maintained by David Walker at
ORNL. It contains example programs for the nbody problem as well as
examples for the 2D Laplace equation, etc. (ORNL)
Java for Computational Science and Engineering
- At NPAC, Geoffrey Fox maintains a very useful list for
Java for High Performance Scientific and Engineering
Computing - Simulation and Modelling. There are links to various
discussions as well as papers on the subject. In particular, you'll find
there a link to a collection of papers presented at
the
June 1997 PPoPP Java meeting in Las Vegas. (Syracuse)
- Jon Hardwick of CMU has an excellent page for
Java Optimization Resources. It lists resources for
optimization as well as benchmarking and pointers to yet more
resources. (CMU)
-
MPI Java Wrapper is a set of Java Wrappers to MPI
implemented using Java 1.0 native class interface. (Syracuse)
-
Using Java and JavaScript in the Virtual Programming
Laboratory (VPL). VPL is a Web-based virtual
programming environment built based on a client-server
architecture. The system can be accessed on any platform
(Unix, PC, or Mac) using a standard Java-enabled browser. (Syracuse)
- Jack Dongarra maintains a page on
Linpack Benchmark
for Java. It allows viewers to submit results as well as run
the benchmark. Source code and other related links are also included there at
Netlib. (Netlib)
- For Java tutorials, examples, lectures, questions, etc. take a look at
- Some High Performance Java materials are available at
Indiana.
(Indiana)
- A set of parallel algorithms and animation are available at
Parallel
Algorithm Animation. (CMU)
- An interesting applet for Crack propagation is available
here at
Cornell. Also, there is a nice
N-Body simulation applets at CMU. (Cornell, CMU)
- A matrix math package for Java, called
MatrixCafe' is available at MIT. The idea behind it is to
provide a one-to-one mapping of the functions in MATLAB to corresponding
functions in Java. (MIT)
- Visual Numerics offers a number
or products, among them JWAVE,
which is a set of Netscape IFC components for building visual and numerical
applications written in Java. (VNI.com)
- JavaSci - A science
API for Java is a set of Java packages aimed at encapsulating scientific
methods/principles in a natural way possible.
(Imperial, UK)
- Scientific and
technical computing software is a set of tools in
Java. Those are Java classes for scientific computing, classes for
Java/C/C++/Fortran interfaces, and classes for distributed
applications. (UCLA)
- Lava
Rocks is a set of Java classes designed to
support a wide variety of applications, particularly
console-mode applications.(BYU)
- Manifold
is a coordination language for orchestration of the communications
among independent, cooperating processes in a massively
parallel or distributed application. (Holland)
- JPython is an
implementation of the object-oriented scripting language
Python, seamlessly
integrated with the Java platform. It features high-level
built-in data types, dynamic typing, packages, classes, and
interactive compilation to Java bytecodes. The integration
includes the ability to call Java methods, create instances
of Java classes, etc. (Python)
- The most widely studied and analyzed algorithms in the field of
Computer Science are the sorting algorithms. Here are few of them
