'''Deterministic Parallel Java''' (DPJ) is an extension of the [[Java (programming language)|Java programming language]] which adds parallel constructs that provide a deterministic programming model for [[Object-oriented programming|object-oriented languages]]. The language extensions define a [[type system]] that a programmer (or interactive porting tool) can use to annotate Java code with type information, and a [[compiler]] can use to type-check that a DPJ program has deterministic semantics, i.e., produces the same visible output for a given input, in all executions. Parallel algorithms that cannot be expressed entirely in the statically checked type system require run-time mechanisms to enforce determinism: two key research goals are to make the type system more expressive and to minimize the need to fall back to run-time techniques. With minor modifications, language extensions should be applicable to other base [[Object-oriented programming|OO]] languages, such as [[C++]] and [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]].

This work is funded by [[National Science Foundation|NSF]] grants CSA 07-02724 and CNS 07-20772, and by [[Intel]] and [[Microsoft]] through the [[UPCRC Illinois]].
