What shared state distributed systems exist which can handle objects in the native language?

+1 Q:

As far as I know there is Terracotta and Maglev. Are there any others?

+2 A:

memcache : many major sites use it, Google AppEngine included. There are bindings to it for everything under the sun (pretty much ;-)

My mistake, I worded the question badly, but you were right, memcached is a shared memory system :)

Memcached is probably the most heavily used one (as their biggest user Facebook shares 28TB of RAM with it at the moment).

Apart from MemCached, there is Velocity from Microsoft.

I researched velocity, but it seems to be just a research lab project and not much info on it. Will it ever see the light of day?

Microsoft are promoting it, so guess so?

Oded 2010-02-18 20:22:20

Ok, thanks. When I get time I'll download it and give it a try.

Since you mentioned MagLev, there's obviously also GemStone/S on top of which MagLev is built, and GemFire, their JVM/.NET/C++ product.
