....of Java bytecode to perform low level operations directly, while maintaining type safety and portability. We have used Jaguar to implement a Java interface to the VIA [7, 41] cluster network interface, which obtains 80 s round trip latency and over 488 Mbit s bandwidth over the Myrinet [32] system area network. This is equivalent to the performance of VIA as accessed from C and is more than an order of magnitude greater than that possible when using Java s native code interface. Jaguar has also been used to implement fast object serialization and memory mapped file access. 3.2 The ....

.... networks of workstations (NOWs) have proven themselves to be viable high performance, scalable, fault tolerant computing platforms [5, 20, 34, 35, 55, 56, 71, 75] A NOW is a cluster of commodity workstations connected together with a low latency, high speed interconnect (such as Myricom s myrinet [22]) to form a loosely coupled parallel supercomputing environment. These clusters have been used for a wealth of di erent kinds of applications, ranging from scienti c computing [69] backbones for high throughput, shared computing environments [25, 39, 48] glori ed batch computing systems [56] ....

....to support. The generality of le system interfaces also obviates many of the performance enhancements that we will be able to make. High speed I O systems have been the focus of much study. On the networking side, much progress has been made in the realm of fast and zero copy network transports [74, 73, 18, 22] and operating system structure to support fast networking [26, 50, 64, 27] Work has also gone into obtaining balanced I O streaming in cluster environments [11, 10] We plan on incorporating many of the techniques and organizations described in these works in our highperformance segment I O ....
