碩士 === 義守大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 91 === While the speed of the single processor systems nearly reach their limit and the cost of Supercomputers is still high, more and more scholars agree that the parallel processing which is the feasible solution to increase the speed of computer systems. Due to the speed of network is faster and faster, applying the distributed parallel computation to deal with parallel tasks becomes a good choice. JPVM (Java Parallel Virtual Machine) is a well-known Object-Oriented parallel computing environment. Since JPVM distributes loads by Round Robin, which could reduce the performance, we design a new method of load distribution that can improve the performance. Moreover, in this thesis we provide three utilities, in JPVM to increase the convenience and the simplicity of JPVM. They are the simulation of interconnection networks, the methods of group communication, and the function of synchronization control. Finally, we’ll perform some experiments and report the results to prove that our method of load distribution is feasible and may increase the performance as well as the usability of JPVM.
