Without wanting to start a flaming war I think "rohit_reborn" is talking out of his finalizer! Please give us some facts.
At least "cpurdy" knows what he's talking about even if he is wrong :-) Only joking Cam. I have seen some clever stuff done on Coherence that stands up to serious production tests however I would still tend towards JavaSpaces for the high CPU count. For the lower end CPU count (but still high performance computing) I wouldn't want to have to bet too much money against Coherence.
Back to this article, thank you Tom. Personally I think the readers could have handled a more complex example and it would have better demonstrated the advantages of computeFarm. I'm not too familiar with ComputeFarm in that I haven't used it but I would be interested to know what you think it offers on top of raw JavaSpaces, RIO and OSGi etc. Probably one of JavaSpaces best assets is its simplicity, whilst abstracting the JavaSpaces API has advantages do you really think you could implement ComputeFarm on anything else? The killer example would be something that works on J2EE as well as JavaSpaces, it would provide a path forward for J2EE, forward into the grid world using JavaSpaces.
I enjoyed the paper, please don't take my questions as criticism I'm just curious.
