This article presents JACEP2P-V2, a Java environment dedicated to designing parallel iterative asynchronous algorithms (with direct communications between nodes) and executing them on global computing architectures or distributed clusters composed by a large number of volatile heterogeneous distant computing nodes. This platform is fault tolerant, multi-threaded and completely decentralized. In this paper, we describe the different components of JACEP2P-V2 and the various mechanisms used for scalability and fault tolerance purposes. We also evaluate the performance of this platform and we compare it to JACEP2P by implementing a parallel iterative asynchronous application and by executing it on a volatile distributed architecture using both platforms.
