The Spread toolkit for distributed computing

By Vasudev Ram


The Spread toolkit seems interesting. I just saw it. It is a toolkit for distributed computing. It supports C/C++, Java and Python.

Excerpts from the site:

[ Some of the services and benefits provided by Spread:

Reliable and scalable messaging and group communication.

A very powerful but simple API simplifies the construction of distributed architectures.

Easy to use, deploy and maintain.

Highly scalable from one local area network to complex wide area networks.

Supports thousands of groups with different sets of members.

Enables message reliability in the presence of machine failures, process crashes and recoveries, and network partitions and merges.

Provides a range of reliability, ordering and stability guarantees for messages.

Emphasis on robustness and high performance.

Completely distributed algorithms with no central point of failure. ]
