Abstract
Parallel computing on a network of workstations (NOW) is receiving a lot of attention from the research community. Recently, Java has emerged as a language of choice for programming on the Internet. However, there is still a lack of tools for developing and running parallel applications on a NOW environment. The Visper tool incorporates the advantages of Java with the established techniques and practices of parallel processing on the network. The aim of the project is to develop a visual software-engineering environment for portable parallel programs based on the MPI standard. We present the design and implementation of a parallel extension to Java that consists of remote process and group creation and message-passing communications.
