More efficient serialization and RMI for Java

摘要: In current Java implementations, Remote Method Invocation (RMI) is too slow, especially for high-performance computing. RMI designed wide-area and high-latency networks, it based on a slow object serialization, does not support communication networks. The paper demonstrates that much faster drop-in an efficient serialization can be implemented completely in without any native code. Moreover, the re-designed supports non-TCP/IP even with heterogeneous transport protocols. We demonstrate computing some of official serialization's generality should traded speed. As by-product, benchmark collection presented. On PCs connected through Ethernet, better improved save median 45% (maximum 71%) runtime set arguments. our Myrinet-based ParaStation network (a cluster DEC Alphas) we 85% 96%), compared to standard RMI, Fast Ethernet; remote method invocation runs as fast 80 μs round trip time, about 1.5 ms.
