Distributed System Component Locator (C#, .NET 2.0 or later) - Industrial-strength distributed system component locator

The component locator can be the backbone of a distributed system where software components finds each others on the LAN by service type, for example a storage consumer could query the component locator for the location of a storage manager or the location of a cache manager. Services can register and unregister dynamically from the Locator, each locator maintain a replicated database of running services and detects / maintain the state of the available services. If a machine goes down the requests for the service(s) that were hosted on that machine will automatically be routed to another suitable computer. Conversely, if a new machine or service gets added, the Locator will automatically load-balance requests across the available services. 19 performance counters.

FastPictureViewer Home Premium Edition

Designed with professional photographers in mind, FastPictureViewer is a minimalist image viewer and culling tool engineered for previewing and rating digital images faster. The program features full ICC color management with support for profiled monitors, instant zooming and copy/move/delete functions, plus industry-standard Adobe XMP and Microsoft Photo rating, ideal for fast reviewing, culling and rating of large quantities of images. It displays shooting data (shutter speed, f-stop, ISO, exposure compensation) and RGB histogram in seamless floating windows and features a built-in program launcher, all in a slick and uncluttered user-interface. The software supports standard image formats such as JPEG, HD Photo, PNG, GIF, BMP and ICO. Technically, the program takes advantage of hardware acceleration (on supported video cards) for truly instantaneous zooming and panning of high resolution digital images. Additionally, the software can take advantage of modern multi-core processor architectures for additional speed through parallelisation, and supports the latest operating system including Windows Vista and Windows 7, in both 32 and 64-bit editions. The program has been translated to several languages, including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish and is able to browse folders and images who's names can be written in any language, thanks to its support for the Unicode standard. One of Germany's largest computer publications, "c't Magazin fur Computertechnik", dubbed FastPictureViewer "the Porsche of image viewers" and described it as "unbeatably fast" in a roundup that included several other image viewers and image editors (issue 19/2008). FastPictureViewer is among the firsts of a new breed of hardware accelerated desktop applications and delivers unprecedented speed and ease of use.

Folder Watcher Component (Native Win32, C++, COM) - Industrial-strength folder watcher component

Highly scalable, reliable local folder watcher component suitable for use in client or server environments under any load. Uses advanced Win32 programming techniques like low level file system notifications, asynchronous I/O, adaptive internal queue and I/O completion ports to achieve utmost reliability: it never, ever misses a file arrival even under extreme load. The component can be used as a C++ class and linked into an application or serve, or as a free-threaded COM component.

Persistent Cache Component (C#, .NET 2.0 or later) - Industrial-strength persistent cache component

Highly scalable persistent cache component, able to handle millions of prioritized [Serializable] objects of mostly any kind, ranging from a few bytes to a few hundreds KB, multiple scavenging strategies, events, 20+ performance counters, cache quotas (total objects or total size) and more. Transactional object storage survives computer crashes without special maintenance. Exposes its services remotely through .NET Remoting.

Storage Manager Component (C#, .NET 2.0 or later) - Industrial-strength storage manager component

Highy scalable dynamic storage manager with multiple allocation strategies. Aggregates multiple storage locations (local or remote volumes) into a hierarchized storage pool. Clients make simple storage allocation requests, for example to allocate space for a file of a certain size, with certain criteria such as speed of access or type of storage location, and the Storage Manager picks the most appropriate physical location (storage point) to store the file and allocates space for it. Supports load balancing and waterfall strategies, distributed storage (SAN), 9 performance counters to monitor the pool status. Initially designed for supporting a highly scalable image storage farm for millions of objects. Highly robust, internally implemented using finite state automata, able to handle hundreds of allocations per second. Exposes its services remotely through .NET Remoting.
