Ibis is an efficient and flexible Java-based programming environment for Grid computing, in particular for distributed supercomputing applications. It boosts RMI performance using several optimizations, especially to avoid the high overhead of runtime type inspection that current RMI implementations have. It therefore comes with a highly efficient serialization implementation.

The goal of the Ibis project at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is to provide an efficient and flexible Java-based programming environment for Grid computing. Ibis provides several communication models, including a highly efficient RMI implementation.
