Deterministic Parallel Java (DPJ) extends the sequential subset of the Java programming language with parallel constructs that provide a deterministic programming model for object-oriented languages. The language extensions define a type system that a programmer (or interactive porting tool) can use to annotate Java code with type information, and a compiler can use to type-check that a DPJ program has deterministic semantics, i.e., produces the same visible output for a given input, in all executions. Parallel algorithms that cannot be expressed entirely in the statically checked type system require run-time mechanisms to enforce determinism: two key research goals are to maximize the expressivity of the type system and to minimize the overhead of the “fallback” run-time techniques. With minor modifications, language extensions should be applicable to other base OO languages, such as C++ and C#.
