%X The high\-performance computing community has developed
numerous Java packages that support parallel and distributed
computing. Most of these packages are designed for the
typical parallel message passing and shared memory
architectural paradigms. This paper presents the results of
a recent study that included a web search for such packages,
describes the paradigms implemented in them, and evaluates
their performance on a parallel, 4\-processor SMP machine
using three benchmark programs that represent a mix of
typical parallel applications, chosen from The Java Grande
Benchmark Suite. A brief description of each package and a
discussion its ease of installation and use are also
provided.
