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.
Stub (distributed computing) Stub (distributed computing) A stub in distributed computing is a piece of code that converts parameters passed between client and server during a remote procedure call (RPC). The main idea of an RPC is to allow a local computer (client) to remotely call procedures on a different computer (server). The client and server use different address spaces, so parameters used in a function (procedure) call have to be converted, otherwise the values of those parameters could not be used, because pointers to parameters in one computer's memory would point to different data on the other computer. The client and server
