Nested Parallelism Using MPJ Express

Steps to write a nested parallel Java application using MPJ Express and Java OpenMP (JOMP). JOMP can be downloaded from here.

Step 1: Write

  • Edit the HybridApp.jomp - the source code is shown in the Figure below. Here we rely on MPJ Express for node parallelism and JOMP for thread parallelism.

Step 2: Translate and Compile

Once we have written our application, we need to translate the .jomp file to .java. Later the Java file is compiled using the Java compiler.

  • The code is translated from .jomp to .java by using the command:


    aamir@barq:~/tmp/jomp> java -cp $MPJ_HOME/lib/mpj.jar:jomp1.0b.jar jomp.compiler.Jomp HybridApp



  • Compile the Java application:

    aamir@barq:~/tmp/jomp> javac -cp $MPJ_HOME/lib/mpj.jar:.:jomp1.0b.jar HybridApp.java

Step 3: Execute

  • Write machines file:


    chenab1

    chenab2


  • Start MPJ Express daemons:


    aamir@barq:~/tmp/jomp> mpjboot machines


  • Run the hybrid code:

    aamir@barq:~/tmp/jomp> mpjrun.sh -wdir ~/tmp/jomp -cp $MPJ_HOME/lib/mpj.jar:.:jomp1.0b.jar -np 2 -Djomp.threads=2 -dport 11050 HybridApp


    Hello from process <1:0>
    Hello from process <1:1>
    Hello from process <0:0>
    Hello from process <0:1>



  • Halt MPJ Express daemons:

    aamir@barq:~/tmp/jomp> mpjhalt machines
