Abstract
Processing and analyzing large volumes of data plays an in­
creasingly important role in many domains of scientific re­
search. High­level language and compiler support for devel­
oping applications that analyze and process such datasets
has, however, been lacking so far.
In this paper, we present a set of language extensions
and a prototype compiler for supporting high­level object­
oriented programming of data intensive reduction operations
over multidimensional data. We have chosen a dialect of
Java with data­parallel extensions for specifying collection
of objects, a parallel for loop, and reduction variables as
