Kapfhammer and Former Students Publish in ACM SIGMETRICS

Associate Professor of Computer Science Gregory M. Kapfhammer and co-authors Philip F. Burdette ’09, William F. Jones ’09, and Brian C. Blose ’06 published a paper in the ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review. The paper, “An Empirical Comparison of Java Remote Communication Primitives for Intra-Node Data Transmission,” presents a benchmarking suite that measures the performance of using sockets and eXtensible Markup Language remote procedure calls (XML-RPC) to exchange intra-node messages between Java virtual machines (JVMs). The paper’s experimental results reveal trade-offs in performance and thus represent the first step toward determining if Java remote communication primitives can support the efficient exchange of intra-node messages.
