Fabric

Fabric is a federated, distributed system for securely and reliably storing, sharing, and computing information. It is under construction by the Applied Programming Languages Group at Cornell University. Fabric presents a single-system image of all resources that can be named by it. It leverages peer-to-peer replication to provide high availability. The Fabric programming language, based on Jif, controls the placement of computation and data through security, durability, and consistency annotations.

The development of Fabric is supported by NSF award 0627649.
