Abstract
In this paper we present JaceV, a multi-threaded Java based library designed to build asynchronous parallel iterative applications (with direct communications between computation nodes) and execute them in a volatile environment. We describe the components of the system and evaluate the performance of JaceV with the implementation and execution of an iterative application with volatile nodes.
