distributed filesystem - "we have some Linux-isms in our code, at least in the HTTP transport code. Our plan is to scrap that and make it portable, though."
allows you to listen a live stream over Internet by using smartly resources. You can listen a webradio or share an event by allowing other listeners to make the same thing in the best conditions.
open source, peer-to-peer software that functions as a persistent access preservation system. Information is delivered via the web, and stored using a sophisticated but easy to use caching system.
a novel decentralized infrastructure, based on distributed hash tables (DHTs), that will enable a new generation of large-scale distributed applications.
James Hamilton has published a thorough summary of Facebook's Cassandra, another scalable key-value store for your perusal. It's open source and is described as a "BigTable data model running on a Dynamo-like infrastructure." Cassandra is used in Facebook as an email search system containing 25TB and over 100m mailboxes. # Google Code for Cassandra - A Structured Storage System on a P2P Network # SIGMOD 2008 Presentation. # Video Presentation at Facebook # Facebook Engineering Blog for Cassandra # Anti-RDBMS: A list of distributed key-value stores # Facebook Cassandra Architecture and Design by James Hamilton
The peers@play project investigates how peer-to-peer technology can be used to create distributed interactive world models that are able to fulfill the highest requirements with respect to scalability, security and consistency. Such world models can, e.g.
Building a centralized database to process billions of open-ended queries per day is a mammoth undertaking. It appears that Google, who perhaps is the only company on the planet with enough imagination, incentive, and expertise to effectively build such a
Ripple is a monetary system based on trust that already exists between people in real-world social networks. By cutting out the institutional middlemen, Ripple is both more community-oriented and more efficient as a means of exchange.
