Abstract :
Tuple spaces have been used to build a wide variety of parallel and distributed applications. Two popular systems for building tuple space applications at present are JavaSpaces and Rinda. JavaSpaces uses Java RMI for distributed communication, while Rinda uses Ruby´s DRb. Despite an abundance of applications built using JavaSpaces and Rinda, there hasn´t been any comparative evaluation of these two systems. This paper provides a detailed ex perimental evaluation of these two systems under several different networking configurations and operating scenarios.
