Hey Joseph, You raise very interesting point, I've breezed through the papers you reference and most of them are in either early stages of conception or an infancy.
> > IBM cJVM > http://www.haifa.il.ibm.com/projects/systems/cjvm/cjvm_papers.html > This seem to be the most mature project but it for example doesn't mention the details of "fast interconnection" between the nodes. I assume it is n-(n-1) tcp model which is a nightmare in any case, Anyway, you organize your global heap, i.e put this many master objects on this node that many on another one, proxies on all other , in order to share the computational workload, but you end up remote calling across the wire in object communication. Maybe they have some algorithms that give the best trade off in distribution amount and communication minimization? The clustering model IBM offers is no doubt a perspective project but I think it fits more in science computation purposes rather than app server model. > TIGRIS > http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~mdw/papers/tigris-lcr2k.pdf > Matt Welsh always has some interesting things to say. I'll read this one in details. The group communication approach , the one that jboss currently uses is IMHO more suitable for app server since your are primarely concerned with object replication rather than thread migration and such things. If you are interested in group communication, there is tons of interesting research out there. You may start with prof. Birman's work at Cornell, prof. Babaoglu at University of Bologna, John Hopkins University and prof. Yair Amir, prof.Dolev from Hebrew University of Jerusalem , prof Moser at University of California at Santa Barbara, Bela Ban's Javagroups etc etc. Cheers, Vladimir > > _______________________________________________ > Jboss-development mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development > _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
