JuxMem is a grid computing software that combines DSM and P2P systems for data sharing. The software allows for efficient and secure sharing of data among multiple users.
Data management in a highly distributed architecture presents unique challenges that need to be revisited, such as the highly dynamic network composition and topology, heterogeneity, hierarchical architecture, and more. The team behind JuxMem believes that peer-to-peer architectures are the best solutions for this problem. However, most recent efforts in this field have not focused on modifiable memory data sharing, but read-only data sharing.
JuxMem takes a step forward and proposes a peer-to-peer memory sharing service allowing peers to share modifiable memory data. The main challenge of this approach is to handle data consistency in a highly dynamic environment. JuxMem believes that DSM systems and P2P systems can serve as major sources of inspiration for the design of a Hybrid system with intermediate hypotheses and properties.
The JuxMem platform was designed as a concept of data-sharing service for grid computing. It is a compromise between DSM systems and P2P systems. The main contribution of such a service is to decouple data management from grid computation by providing location transparency as well as data persistence in a dynamic environment. The software platform relies on the generic peer-to-peer service infrastructure provided by the JXTA environment.
In conclusion, JuxMem is a promising solution that provides location-transparent data access and persistence in a dynamic distributed environment. Grid computing can benefit from this software as it allows for the decoupling of data management from grid computation. JuxMem solves the challenge of handling data consistency in a highly dynamic environment and implements a peer-to-peer memory sharing service for modifiable memory data.
