CloudTran CloudTran In computing, CloudTran, a transaction management product, enables applications running in distributed computing and cloud computing architectures to embed logical business transactions that adhere to the properties of ACID transactions. Specifically, CloudTran coordinates ACID transactionality for data stored within in-memory data grids (e.g., Oracle Coherence, GigaSpaces, and Gemfire), as well as from the data grid to persistent storage systems (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB). Distributed computing has traditionally relied on a technology called distributed transactions which is an algorithm used to coordinate the storing of a logically-related set of data within more than one database or computer.
General-purpose computing on graphics processing units provides a simplified GPU programming model based on GPU parallel-for and parallel aggregate using delegates and automatic memory management. MATLAB supports GPGPU acceleration using the "Parallel Computing Toolbox" and "MATLAB Distributed Computing Server", and third-party packages like Jacket. GPGPU processing is also used to simulate Newtonian physics by Physics engines, and commercial implementations include Havok Physics, FX and PhysX, both of which are typically used for computer and video games. Close to Metal, now called Stream, is AMD's GPGPU technology for ATI Radeon-based GPUs. C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism (C++ AMP) is a library that accelerates execution of C++ code by
