Just curious, do you have any pointers to or experiences with using Terracotta in a scientific programming example? Orion: thanks.

This can be seen to great effect in <a href="http://www.terracotta.org/examinator" rel="nofollow">the high-scale reference web application</a> we built to show how Terracotta is used in a real-world scenario. When you look at the code to examinator, you'll find very little concurrency-aware code. All of the concurrency is handled inside the various TIMs used by the application (e.g., Spring Webflow, Spring MVC, Spring Security, ...). You can see a full list of available TIMs here: http://terracotta.org/web/display/orgsite/Integration+Guides Like Terracotta itself, all of these TIMs are open source free for use in production.
