PACE Seminar

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: Pivotal Gemfire – A distributed, memory-based data management system

Full Summary:

Presenter: Dr. Chi Xie Date and Time: Friday October 4th 11:10 am – 12:10 pm Location: CODA Room 114 Host: PACE     Title:  Pivotal Gemfire – A distributed, memory-based data management system   Abstract: 
Pivotal GemFire is a data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures. GemFire pools memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes to manage application objects and behavior. It uses dynamic replication and data partitioning techniques to implement high availability, improved performance, scalability, and fault tolerance. In addition to being a distributed data container, GemFire is an in-memory data management system that provides reliable asynchronous event notifications and guaranteed message delivery.
 
  • Caches are an abstraction that describe a node in a GemFire distributed system. Application architects can arrange these nodes in peer-to-peer or client/server topologies. Within each cache, you define data regions. Data regions are analogous to tables in a relational database and manage data in a distributed fashion as name/value pairs. A replicated region stores identical copies of the data on each cache member of a distributed system. A partitioned region spreads the data among cache members. After the system is configured, client applications can access the distributed data in regions without knowledge of the underlying system architecture. You can define listeners to create notifications about when data has changed, and you can define expiration criteria to delete obsolete data from a region.
  • GemFire locators provide both member discovery and load-balancing services. You configure clients with a list of locator services and the locators maintain a dynamic list of member servers.
  • GemFire uses continuous querying to enable event-driven architectures. GemFire ties events and data together so that when an event is processed, the data required to process the event is available without additional queries to a disk-based database. Clients can subscribe to change notifications so that they can execute tasks when a specific piece of data changes.
  • In addition to peer-to-peer and client/server topologies, GemFire supports multi-site configurations that allow you to scale horizontally between disparate, loosely-coupled distributed systems over a wide geographically separated network. A wide-area network (WAN) is the main use case for the multi-site topology.
