Hi, Dave,
Since 2.1.2, X10 comes with what we call a multi-vm Java backend
implementation. It runs with the sockets transport. For sockets, the
Java runner, "x10", uses the same launcher as the C++ backend
("X10Launcher"), so one can run it on, e.g., a Linux cluster by
setting X10_NPLACES and X10_HOSTFILE, just like you would for a C++
launch.
As far as I know, you cannot use the MPI transport with multi-vm.
