jPVM jPVM is an interface written using the Java native methods capability which allows Java applications to use the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) software. jPVM extends the capabilities of PVM to the new, exciting, hype-filled world of JavaTM, Sun Microsystems Inc.'s architecture-independent programming language for the Internet. jPVM allows Java applications (and possibly applets, though we haven't tested it) and existing C, C++, and (again possibly, though I don't know for sure) Fortran applications to communicate with one another using the PVM API. This means you could build Java interfaces to existing C, C++, and Fortran programs and use PVM to ship data from those programs to the Java interface. Or you could use this as a communications package as you transition applications from C or C++ to Java. Yeah, you could use the Java socket library, but PVM, and hence jPVM, is a bit simpler, more robust, and a lot better documented!
