Is Java ready for scientific computing?
Here is a very good article to explain Java for scientific computing. There are also translator software tools that converts Fortran to Java bytecode. Even with legacy code, GT can still contribute its value. GT is heterogeneous in nature. It runs on all platforms as long as there is JVM(Java Virtual Machine) for that platform. Currently JVM is available from Windows, Unix, Linux, Macintosh, to mobile devices. So there is huge potential in the direction of Java. GT is futuristic in visioning and pioneering technology of tomorrow, and riding the wave of enabling technologies to achieve what others can not achieve.
