Abstract:
The volume of data available in the Semantic Web has already reached the order of magnitude of billions of triples and is expected to further grow in the future. The availability of such an amount of data makes it attractive for Semantic Web applications to exploit High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures to effectively process such data. Unfortunately, most Semantic Web applications are written in the Java programming language, whereas current frameworks that make the most out of HPC infrastructures, such as the Message Passing Interface (MPI), only target C or Fortran applications. Attempts to port existing parallelization frameworks to the Java language prove to be very inefficient in terms of the performance benefits for applications. This paper presents an efficient porting based on the Open MPI framework.
