Abstract
We explore advances in Java Virtual Machine (JVM) technology along with new high performance I/O libraries in Java 1.4, and find that Java is increasingly an attractive platform for scientific cluster-based message passing codes.
We report that these new technologies allow a pure Java implementation of a cluster communication library that performs competitively with standard C-based MPI implementations.
