Open Source Distributed Computing Software

TurboVNC is a high-performance, enterprise-quality version of VNC based on TightVNC, TigerVNC, and X.org. It contains a variant of Tight encoding that is tuned for maximum performance and compression with 3D applications (VirtualGL), video, and other image-intensive workloads. TurboVNC, in combination with VirtualGL, provides a complete solution for remotely displaying 3D applications with interactive performance. TurboVNC's high-speed encoding methods have been adopted by TigerVNC and libvncserver, and TurboVNC is also compatible with any other TightVNC derivative. TurboVNC forked from TightVNC in 2004 and still covers all of the TightVNC 1.3.x features, but TurboVNC contains numerous feature enhancements and bug fixes relative to TightVNC, and it compresses 3D and video workloads much better than TightVNC while using generally only 5-20% of the CPU time of the latter. Using non-default settings, TurboVNC can also be made to compress 2D workloads as "tightly" as TightVNC.

SocketTest - powerful and small software tool for socket testing. It can create both TCP and UDP client or server. It can be used to test any server or client that uses TCP or UDP protocol to communicate.

CGRU is an open source CG tools pack, includes Afanasy render farm manager and RULES project tracker.

dispy is a generic and comprehensive, yet easy to use framework for creating and using compute clusters to execute computations in parallel across multiple processors in a single machine (SMP), among many machines in a cluster, grid or cloud. dispy is well suited for data parallel (SIMD) paradigm where a computation (Python function or standalone program) is evaluated with different (large) datasets independently. dispy supports public / private / hybrid cloud computing, fog / edge computing.

Tyrex provides J2EE services for security and authentication, local and distributed transactions, resource configuration and pooling, and TP monitoring.

Blazegraph has moved to Github. Please see https://github.com/blazegraph/database/.

Joone is a neural net framework written in Java(tm). It's composed by a core engine, a GUI editor and a distributed training environment and can be extended by writing new modules to implement new algorithms or architectures starting from base component

YaCy is a free search engine that anyone can use to build search the internet (www and ftp) or to create a search portal for others (internet or intranet). The scale of YaCy is limited only by the number of users and can index billions of web pages. In p2p mode it is fully decentralized, all users of the search engine network are equal and it is not possible for anyone to censor the content of the distributed index.

Equalizer is the standard middleware to create parallel OpenGL-based applications. Please visit https://github.com/Eyescale for current development information.

A Java middleware API supporting broker-less, type+topic-based publish/subscribe and request/reply messaging for both intra- and inter-application, object-level communication. Broker-less: messages are transmitted directly between eBus applications. There is no message broker (i.e. server) in between. Type+topic addressing: eBus clients subscribe to a message class (type) and message topic, providing stronger typing than just topic-based subscriptions. Object-level communication: eBus delivers messages directly to client objects, not to a client process.

MARF is a general cross-platform framework with a collection of algorithms for audio (voice, speech, and sound) and natural language text analysis and recognition along with sample applications (identification, NLP, etc.) of its use, implemented in Java.

GridSim allows modeling and simulation of entities in parallel and distributed computing systems such as users, applications, resources, and resource brokers/schedulers for design and evaluation of scheduling algorithms. http://www.gridbus.org/gridsim

Reliable group communication based on IP multicast and configurable protocol stack

Talend Spatial Module (aka Spatial Data Integrator or SDI) is an ETL tool for geospatial. Based on Talend Open Studio, input, output and transform geocomponents are available. IO components read/write GIS formats(eg.PostGIS, GeoRSS). Transformers all

a-renet is a distributed chat and multiplayer games network for UNIX. Supported games are client-server, TCP based games.

ClusterIt is a collection of clustering tools to allow simple administration of groups of UNIX machines. It can also be used to facilitate parallel shell scripting, and compiling.

JPPF makes it easy to parallelize computationally intensive tasks and execute them on a Grid.

The TclSOAP package provides a mechanism to bind Tcl command procedures to remote procedure calls using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and XML-RPC over HTTP. Both client and server code is provided.

Value is a complete PHP/MySQL and J2EE middleware / server side accounting system/ERP/CRM geared for users ranging from soho to large corporations.

MX4J is an Open Source implementation of the Java Management Extensions technology, for both JSR 3 (JMX) and JSR 160 (JMX Remote API).

CArtAgO is a framework for programming and executing virtual environments in multi-agent programs.

Dowser is a research tool for the web. It clusters results from search engines, associates words that appear in previous searches, and keeps a local cache of all the results you click on in a searchable database. It helps you keep track of what you find.

The purpose of the project is to develop a portable programming framework that facilitates distributed and multi-threaded programming for C++, Java, and Python. MADARA was originally developed as an agent-based middleware specifically for real-time, distributed artificial intelligence, but is now more general purpose for distributed timing, control, knowledge and reasoning, and quality-of-service. MADARA is composed of several tools and middleware, and the main entry point into the system is the Knowledge and Reasoning Language (KaRL) Engine, which provides a real-time scripting language for nanosecond execution times hooked into a flexible transport layer for distributed reasoning. The KaRL engine also supports object-oriented C++, Java, and Python programming through Containers, classes that provide abstractions and references for variable location within the KaRL Knowledge Base. This project is currently in process of being ported from http://madara.googlecode.com.
