Abstract—A distributed Java virtual machine called SingleJava based on thread migration is proposed in this paper. SingleJava can be used to build a distributed computing framework while keeping itself completely transparent to Java programmers. The main idea underlying is to improve the inevitable Java virtual machine in a Java based software system, i.e., adding a build-in distributed infrastructure to the virtual machine and integrating it into a distributed computing framework. Meanwhile, traditional distributed program are usually difficult to test or debug. SingleJava supports testing and debugging applications on a single node Java virtual machine, such as Oracle Hopspot or IBM J9, and the applications or compiled classes can be deployed directly to the distributed SingleJava infrastructures.

Index Terms—Distributed Computing, Parallel Computing, Java Virtual Machine.
