Growler is a component-oriented framework aimed at
distributed and collaborative visualization and
computational steering. It is released under the
NASA Open Source Agreement. Growler’s distributed
object and event architecture is suitable for
application to high-performance LAN environments
as well the Internet. Its features include strong
integration with C++, selective distributed
reference counting, and efficient well-typed event
channels for local and remote event broadcast,
with support for low-latency/low-perturbation
events via a loss-tolerant “state-based” event
model. There is also support for event
transmission over Infiniband, and event sizes
greater that 4 gigabytes.
