A Wrapper Generator for Wrapping High Performance Legacy Codes as Java/CORBA Components

This paper describes a Wrapper Generator for wrapping high performance legacy codes as Java/CORBA components for use in a distributed component-based problemsolving environment. Using the Wrapper Generator we have automatically wrapped an MPI-based legacy code as a single CORBA object, and implemented a problemsolving environment for molecular dynamic simulations. Performance comparisons between runs of the CORBA object and the original legacy code on a cluster of workstations and on a parallel computer are also presented.
