PVM and Java

Hi,

I'd like to ask the group for some pointers to Java libraries for parallel
programming on a cluster, preferably but by no means necessarily related to
PVM. A Google-search of the net revealed nothing interesting, as the
software packages and papers that turned up (JavaPVM, JPVM, ..) appeared
either awfully outdated and unmaintained, or showed horrible performance
gaps with regular C PVM. It seemed to me that there has not been any
activity in this field after 1999.

My first choice would be a native binding with regular PVM that is regularly
updated to keep track with new versions. Maybe someone will point out to me
that my search was not well done. Or maybe I'm completely living in the past
here with my PVM-obsession, and missed out on this radical new Java take on
parallel computing.

Cheers,
/J
