May 1, 2005 · Java is often used to develop portable grid applications, with programs being sequences (compositions) of remote method calls. We demonstrate an inherent inefficiency of the standard remote method invocation (RMI) mechanism of Java …

We present ways to use of message-passing libraries in a Java setting. We show, that Java’s RMI does allow for high-performance applications on clusters, even if the standard implementation of RMI is slow. And we illustrate a Grid framework that allows Java applications to be efficiently distributed over the computational Grid.

In a grid computing application [Foster and Kesselman 1998], for example, some clusters can run our Manta software and communicate internally using the Manta RMI protocol.

May 1, 2005 · This article studies a new approach for implementing RMI, using a compiler-based Java system called Manta, which uses a native (static) compiler instead of a just-in-time compiler and implements the standard RMI protocol, in addition to its own protocol.

May 1, 2005 · We demonstrate an inherent inefficiency of the standard remote method invocation (RMI) mechanism of Java for implementing compositions of remote calls. We propose a new, optimised RMI...

Java RMI is an especially powerful and semantically comprehensive framework for distributed Java applications – but the de-fault Java RMI implementation is bound to a concrete wire protocol, JRMP, that is neither interoperable nor very effi-cient.

Computational grids allow the users to run their applications on remote high-performance servers available via Internet. Java is often used to develop portable grid applications, with programs bein...

We have addressed the challenging problem of software design for heterogeneous grids, using a repository of reusable algorithmic patterns called skeletons, that are executed remotely on high- performance grid servers.

We describe an experimental Grid programming system, focusing on improving the Java RMI mechanism and the predictability of Java performance in a Grid environment. Download to read the full chapter text

2.1.2 Java RMI Based middleware To develop the large scale distributed applications, Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation) based middleware is introduced. For object replication, a new approach is introduced in java that is based on complier. The compiler is helpful for code generation for RMI and to check the consistency. This
