Abstract

Our goal here is to provide to non-Java programmers some guidance as to whether Java might be appropriate for scientific applications. We will discuss some of Java's features which promote the safety, reliability, and portability, and then briefly address the biggest concern of most scientific users: performance. We conclude with a short discussion some deficiencies of Java in the context of scientific computing.
