JPT: a java parallelization tool

PVM is a succesfull programming environment for distributed computing in the languages C and Fortran. Recently several implementations of PVM for Java have been added, making PVM programming accessible to the Java community. With PVM for Java however, the user still needs to partition the problem, calculate the data partitioning and program the message passing and synchronization. In this paper, JPT is introduced, a parallelization tool which generates PVM code from a serial Java program. JPT automatically detects parallel loops and generates master and slave PVM programs
