I'm guessing that you have an institutional requirement for using Java on MP systems. I've been down that road myself, and like you, I found none of the MPI wrappers very appealing. There seem to be several initiatives to make Java better for HPC, but I don;t think any of them are active. Java has largerly moved into the realm of server-side, web-oriented applications. Are you locked into Java for entire packages, or can you use a mixed mdoel with C/C++/Fortran engines wrapped in Java interfaces? I've found that approach to be rather rewarding. ..Scott
