== SAFplus 7 Design Specification ==
 * [[Product Brief]]

=== Development Tools ===

 * [[Cluster Design GUI/Integrated Development Environment]]
 * [[Source Code Structure and Makefile System]]
 * [[Install and Build]]

=== Fundamental Objects ===

 * [[Handle]]
  This is a cluster-wide identifier
  * [[GlobalHandleT]]
    Derives from [[HandleT]], adds a cluster identifier to become globally unique
 * [[Transaction]]
  Cross object, node, cluster, transaction
 * [[Checkpoint]] (AKA Dictionary, map, or hash table) 
  Replicated, nested, persistent, notifiable, shared memory, transactional Hash Table
  * [[ResourceAssociatedCheckpoint]]
    This [[Dictionary]] associates a Handle to each key and calls a cleanup whenever the resource represented by the Handle disappears (due to a fault).
 * [[ThreadPool]]
  A group of threads that are applied to a list of tasks.

 * [[MessageFlowManager]]
  This class intermediates between the messaging layer (send/receive) and the application code.  It manages messaging buffers and optimizes frequency of message sending verses message size.

=== Services ===

 * [[Logging]] 
 Applications and other services can log to shared memory.  A log server will "scrape" the shared memory and post the message to log channels and/or files.
 * [[Messaging]]
 Interface with SAFplus 6.x IOC messaging implementation underneath, but takes a Handle as a destination
 * [[Group]] 
 Group membership and cluster master election
 * [[Name]]
 String name to arbitrary data (generally a Handle)
 * [[Fault]]
 All entities report errors to this centralized fault manager.  Only it chooses to fault a resource (node or process).
 * [[Availability Management]]
 Core process that starts and monitors applications
 * [[Remote Procedure Call]]
 Fast and efficient RPC subsystem
 * [[Management]]
 Object oriented access to YANG-defined persistent configuration and statistics
