Terracotta(http://www.terracottatech.com/)是一个企业级的、开源的、JVM级别的集群解决方案。JVM级的集群方案意味着可以支撑将企业级的Java应用部署部署到多JVM上,而且就像是运行在同一个JVM中。 Terracotta扩展了JVM的内存模型,各虚拟机上的线程通过集群来与其他虚拟机上的线程进行交互(Terracotta extends the Java Memory Model of a single JVM to include a cluster of virtual machines such that threads on one virtual machine can interact with threads on another virtual machine as if they were all on the same virtual machine with an unlimited amount of heap.)。
