Open Source Distributed Computing Software

Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. Supports clusters up to 2000 nodes in size.

TACO is a toolkit for building distributed control systems or any other distributed system. It is based on a C/C++ core. It is based on the client-server model. It supports writing clients and server on Unix+Windows. Clients and servers can be written in

isectd is a middleware daemon that provides many-to-many client-to-server connectivity. Supports multiplexing requests to multiple server processes over IP networks.

YARP, Yet Another Robot Platform. Always dreamt of controlling a humanoid robot? ...well, we do that. A C++ library for IPC, vision and control. This project was migrated to GitHub: https://github.com/robotology/yarp

Framework for blockstructured adaptive finite volume methods. Provides MPI-parallelized variant of the Berger-Oliger AMR algorithm for Beowulf-clusters. Uses Clawpack. Visualization and conversion tools for HDF4 files included.

Boiler-plate code for bootstrapping CORBA 2.5+ applications. The goal is to create a set of cooperative services and components needed by CORBA apps. Essentially, a pre-fabricated CORBA infrastructure that facilitates component based software engineering

The DocSOAP XML Development Kit (XDK) is a Java Web Services SOAP, and XML Development Kit that provides effective and efficient ways of manipulating XML documents and building Web services solutions for "document style SOAP".

Globule is a module for the Apache Web server that allows a given server to replicate its documents to other Globule servers. Clients are automatically redirected to one of the available replicas.

Son of Grid Engine is a community continuation of the old Sun Grid Engine project. It aims to be a big superset of available free gridengine code and patches. The main site is currently https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ and https://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/ but release files are inaccessible there and being hosted here.

Generic clustering/load-balancing platform (over a LAN or internet) using java based P2P Aorta workers that execute java "tasklets". Various tasklets can be implemented to solve fractals, process images, render webpages, crack RSA "brute force".

Blackboard implements a lightweight, portable tuple space suitable for multi-agent system and distributed component design. Supports implicit invocation via content-filtered asynchronous events, blocking call semantics, and shared memory messaging.

Compiere MFG+SCM Manufacturing Extended System (MES). Include Shop Floor Control, Supply chain management, Quality management, modbus interface, iReport barcode extension etc. Support batch and on demand manufacturing. Works alone or connected to ERP.

Project provides a set of concurrent building blocks (Java & C/C++) that can be used to develop parallel/multi-threaded applications. Components are grouped into 4 categories: 1.Data Structures 2. Parallel Patterns 3.Parallel functions 4.Atomics and STM

The BCR flavor of Cooperative Data Sharing (CDS) is a scalable, portable, flexible C-based API and daemon for initiating and communicating between processes/threads in uniprocessor and multiprocessor (e.g. distributed, SMP, and parallel) platforms.

The project focuses on developing an environment where one can harness idle CPU cycles of numerous networked systems to work together on a particularly processing-intensive problem. (distributed computing you may call it)

GenesisAE defines and implements an application environment for portable, network-transparent and secure applications. GenesisAE is based on a QNX-like (S/R/R) microkernel and on basic servers (providing device I/O, a database, ...)

Implementation of Fault Tolerant CORBA specification, V1.0 (OMG Document ptc/2000-04-04), extended to support large-scale, distributed systems. Implements both Passive (Cold and Warm) and Active replication styles.

The Job Jar is a simple batch queuing system for Unix. Its main distinguishing feature is that there is no central daemon. Instead, an arbitrary set of workers cooperatively claim jobs from a central directory. A job is any Unix executable file.

Tools, information, and practices for creating and operating dependable, complex, distributed, software-intensive systems. * Sense - Measure - Analyze - Respond - Optimize * Keywords: Performance Co-Pilot - PCP - PCPMon - Rjobd

Open Source Remote Sensing OSSIM project, pronounced "awesome", will leverage existing algorithms/tools/packages from the open source community in construction of the ultimate Remote Sensing/Image Processing/GIS package. osgPlanet extends OSSIM and Op

Open uGateway is intended to be an OSGi service framework written in C++ for devices with limited resources, that do not allow the usage of a Java Virtual Machine.

The goal of Operation Project X is to crack the 2048-bit RSA private encryption key Microsoft uses to sign Xbox media, by using distributed computing. This key could be used by Xbox owners to run homebrew code on their machines.

PyREXX is a interprocess messaging server for routing remote prodecure calls using xml-based messages (Jabber, XML-RPC, etc), which will allow programs to interact more easily.

RobotFlow is a mobile robotics tookit based on FlowDesigner. The visual programming interface provided with FlowDesigner will help people to better visualize & understand what is really happening in the robot's control loops, sensors and actuators.

Framework for software component integration, interoperability and adoptability through a XML based vocabulary: Software Component Integration Mark-up Language (SCIML)
