GridGain Releases Open Source Java Grid Computing Platform with AOP Enablement

This item in japanese

GridGain Systems has released version 1.0 of their open source Java grid computing platform. Features include:

  • Clear focus on computational or processing grids
  • Developed entirely on Java 5 foundation
  • LGPL Open Source licensed
  • Out-of-the-box integration with JBoss and Spring
  • Unique annotation and AOP-based grid enabling technology

GridGain is a computational grid at this time and does not include data grid functionality.  GridGain supports two main methods of grid enabling the Java application.  A grid task can be created, packaged into a GAR file (much the same way as you package your WAR/JAR/EAR files) and deploying it into GridGain.  Grid functionality can also be AOP-based using either AspectJ, SpringAOP or JBoss AOP frameworks to cross-cut existing code and inject gridifying logic. With AOP peer-to-peer hot (re)deployment is provided to distribute tasks.

GridGain not only provides grid related processing APIs but also pluggable service provider implementations for other common grid related services such as:

  • Communication
  • Discovery
  • Deployment
  • Events
  • Checkpoints
  • Collision
The roadmap for version 1.1 lists support and enhanced integration with Tangosol Coherence, BEA Weblogic, IBM WebSphere, and Mule ESB.
