freshmeat.net: Project details for Growler distributed object architecture
Growler is a component-oriented framework aimed at distributed and collaborative visualization and computational steering. It is released under the NASA Open Source Agreement. Growler’s distributed object and event architecture is suitable for application to high-performance LAN environments as well the Internet. Its features include strong integration with C , selective distributed reference counting, and efficient well-typed event channels for local and remote event broadcast, with support for low-latency/low-perturbation events via a loss-tolerant “state-based” event model. There is also support for event transmission over Infiniband, and event sizes greater that 4 gigabytes.
