> Due to the limited life-span of today's supercomputers, achieving
> performance portability of parallel codes is of critical importance.
> Although Java was not specifically designed for the computationally
> intensive numeric applications that are the typical fodder of
> supercomputers, its widespread popularity and portability make it an
> interesting candidate for high-performance computing; however, many
> open research questions remain regarding the viability of high
> performance Java-enabled environments. These encompass topics ranging
> from compiler/runtime optimizations to the language design to
> interfacing with legacy libraries.
>
> Papers are solicited for a Special Issue of Scientific Programming,
> tentatively scheduled to be published in July, 1999.
> The purpose of this special issue is to focus on the fast-paced
> developments, experiences and research supporting high-performance
> execution of Java codes for numerical applications.
>
>
> Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
>
> o JITs/Dynamic compilation
> o Native code generation
> o Analysis of numeric applications
> o Compiler optimizations
> o Garbarge collection
> o Language Specification (floating-point, array, object and thread models)
> o JVM design and implementation
> o Scalability issues
> o Highly parallel implementations
> o Distributed/web-based implementaions
> o Interfacing with legacy libraries

There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the third one works.
