Open Source Linux Clustering Software

Generic SCSI target subsystem for Linux SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices. It includes generic SCSI target core with SCSI target drivers and backend handlers. There are target drivers for iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, SAS, FCoE, etc.

The aim of the project is to develop an open source iSCSI target with professional features, works well in enterprise environment under real workload, and is scalable and versatile enough to meet the challenge of future storage needs and developements.

openQRM is a web-based open source datacenter management and hybrid cloud computing platform that integrates flexibly with existing components in enterprise data centers. Releases available at https://github.com/openQRM/openqrm-community. Please visit http://www.openqrm-enterprise.com for latest 5.3 free Community Release. Includes important security updates, bugfixes and enhancements especially for KVM and Cloud plugin. openQRM abstracts Virtualization and supports the following virtualization technologies: KVM, XEN, Citrix XenServer, VMWare ESX & LXC. The Hybrid Cloud Connector in openQRM supports a range of private or public cloud providers to extend your infrastructure on demand via Amazon AWS, Eucalyptus or OpenStack. openQRM automates provisioning, virtualization, storage and configuration management, and it takes care of high-availability.

openMosix is a Linux kernel extension for single-system image clustering. Taking n PC boxes, openMosix gives users and applications the illusion of one single computer with n CPUs. openMosix is perfectly scalable and adaptive.

The Transparent Inter Process Communication service can best be described as a cluster wide equivalent to the Unix Domain Socket IPC, but with much more features. Go to http://www.tipc.io for more details.

Secure, effective and universal Virtual Operating System implementation; completely new VM design; simple but powerful rIPC mechanisms - see http://argante.sourceforge.net/advocacy.txt for more information.

The Beowulf Distributed Process Space (BProc) is a set of Linux kernel modifications for easy process management and remote process creation in Beowulf style clusters.

This project is developing a common infrastructure for Linux clustering by extending the CLuster Membership Subsystem ("CLMS") and Internode Communication Subsystem ("ICS") of the OpenSSI project.

Distributed Inter-Process Communication (DIPC) is a combination of a Linux kernel extension and user-space programs that allows the user to develop distributed applications very easily.

- DSI is a security framework addressing security needs of carrier-grade Linux clusters. - DigSig is a linux kernel module checking RSA signatures of ELF executables at run-time. **Those projects are no longer maintained**

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)

DIPC stands for Distributed Inter-Process Communication. It enables you to build and program clusters of Linux computers very easily. It provides, among other things, Transparent Distributed Shared Memory (DSM). No special hardware required

Engrane3D is a fully working LiveCD OS powered by Slackware/Slax with a personalized set of tools to set, configure clusters, tools for hosting serving, a built-in parallel 3D renderer and a nice set of compilers and libs (SDL,MPI, Mesa).

The FreeBIOS project aims to provide a replacement for any computer's firmware, and support advanced or custom features and configurations. Initial code supports Intel-based only, but other processors and chipsets will be supported.

Queue is a load-balancing system popular in the 2000s that lets users control their remote jobs in an intuitive, transparent and nearly seamless way. Development versions feature job migration with and without kernel support. GNU Queue continues to be downloaded despite being decommissioned by the FSF in favor of the newer GNU Parallel project. Older versions of the code are archived here on Sourceforge and some later versions on GNU Savannah.

The NFS/RDMA project is a reference implementation of a new RDMA-capable ONC RPC transport for use by Linux kernel NFS. This transport implementation is now available as part of the Linux kernel. The code is also available separately under a dual GPL/BSD

The OpenSSI project is a comprehensive clustering solution offering a full, highly available SSI environment for Linux. Goals for OpenSSI Clusters include availability, scalability and manageability, built from standard servers.

Client and server implementations of the 9P and 9P2000 distributed resource protocols for Unix-based operating systems. See project home page for up-to-date news and source release information.

shadowk kernel aim to be a clean portable object micro-kernel. Clean and extensible would be most too important directions for this development.

A multicast-based loadbalancing framework for linux.

SLLB is a linux implementation of a software load balancing written in C on GNU/Linux. Problems: - ethernet hardware device compatibilities - deep kernel network programming

Static Domain Partitioning is the ability to run multiple Linix kernels on different parts of a multi-processor, sharted memory system. Each kernel runs as an independent system. The "static" partition boundary does not change while the linux kerne

Nodemon is a visualization tool for monitoring system resource utilization. It was developed for monitoring the Columbia supercomputer, a 10,240-processor Linux system at NASA Ames Research Center. It can monitor resources on any Linux system or cluster

Tortuga is an open source cluster provisioning, maintenance and updating tool that can do bare metal provisioning of multiple groups each with their own custom configuration.

U4X, pronounced 'eu-phor-ix', is a linux distribution suited for multimedia professionals as well as the at-home amatuers. U4X includes such features as a modified kernel, verbose shell, journaling file system, and clustering capabilities.
