The Java Grande Conference focuses on the use of Java in the broad area
of high-performance computing; including engineering and scientific applications,
simulations, data-intensive applications, and other emerging application
areas that exploit parallel and distributed computing or combine communication
and computing. A day of tutorials will be held on the day following the
conference. The conference precedes the JavaOne 2000 conference, which
would enable the Java Grande attendees to expose themselves to the latest
in basic Java Technology.
Topics covered by Java Grande include:
-
Java use for scientific and engineering applications
-
Java frameworks and libraries for high-performance computing
-
Implementation techniques for Java on high-performance systems
-
Java numerics and Java extensions for high-performance computing
-
Java compilation and optimization for high-performance computing
-
Java development tools and environments for high-performance computing
-
Java performance and benchmarking
