Project Details

This aim of this project is to develop a medium-scale realistic application in Java. The basis for this project will be an existing code, called LUDWIG, which is written in C (and MPI). The major part of this project will consist of translating the sequential C code into Java. This will allow direct performance comparison between the two versions. As a further part of the project, parallel versions of the Java code (using mpiJava and/or JOMP) will be developed and benchmarked.:
