Test Suites

HPJava 1.0 is fully operational and can be downloaded from www.hpjava.org [23]. The system fully supports the Java Language Specification (JLS) [26], and has been tested and debugged against the HPJava test suites and jacks [24], an Automated Compiler Killing Suite. The current score is comparable to that of Sun JDK 1.4 and IBM Developer Kit 1.3.1. This means that the HPJava front-end is very conformant with Java. The HPJava test suites includes simple HPJava programs, and complex scientific algorithms and applications such as a multigrid solver, adapted from an existing Fortran program (called PDE2), taken from the Genesis parallel benchmark suite [1]. The whole of this program has been ported to HPJava (it is about 800 lines). Also, Computational Fluid Dynamics research application for fluid flow problems, (CFD) has been ported to HPJava (it is about 1300 lines). An applet version of this application can be viewed at www.hpjava.org.
