Title: mpiJava 1.2: API Specification

Authors: Bryan Carpenter, Geoffrey Fox, Sung-Hoon Ko, and Sang Lim

Submitted November 1999

Abstract:

This document defines the API of mpiJava, a Java language binding for MPI
1.1. The document is not a standalone specification of the behaviour of
MPI--it is meant to be read in conjunction with the MPI standard document
[2]. Subsections are laid out in the same way as in the standard document,
to allow cross-referencing. Where the mpiJava binding makes no significant
change to a particular section of the standard document, we will just note
here that there are no special issues for the Java binding. This does not
mean that the corresponding section of the standard is irrelevant to the
Java binding--it may mean it is 100% relevant! Where practical the API is
modelled on the MPI C++ interface defined in the MPI standard version 2.0
[3].
