Abstract
This paper describes the definition and implementation of an OpenMP-like se t of directives and library routines for shared memory parallel programming in Java, A specification of the directives and routines is proposed and di scussed. A prototype implementation, consisting of a compiler and a runtime library, both written entirely in Java, is presented, which implements mos t of the proposed specification. Some preliminary performance results are r eported. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
