I presented my current work for distributed computations for Java - PCJ library.

The library is focused on running scientific calculations on clusters or multi-node multi-processors computers.

During the presentation, participants asked many questions and suggested possible improvements of library implementation.

Recommendations:

During presentation many questions arise. Many of them were very helpful for improving the library.

The most important suggestions for future work are:

  • consider caching data and marking it as dirty,
  • prepare new charts with thousands of tasks/processors.
  • introduce failure recovery strategy when one node (possibly root/manager) fails.
