Open Source Distributed Computing Software

Tools for the Linux Kernel's network block device, allowing you to use remote block devices over a TCP/IP network. Note that we have moved to github: https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd

DRBL provides diskless or systemless environment. It uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware. It also includes Clonezilla, a partition and disk cloning utility similar to Ghost.

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.

A distributed, peer-to-peer, server-less communication & messaging solution for JAVA (JMS), C++ and .NET applications, integrates with JBoss, WebLogic & WebSphere. Offers guaranteed delivery, security and transactions. Supports TCP, SSL & HTTP protocols.

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

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.

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

Based on the source code of Sun Grid Engine, we are continuing the open source development effort here on sourceforge.

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.

Distributed session caching tools and APIs, primarily for SSL/TLS servers though perhaps useful for other (non-SSL/TLS) circumstances. Also includes a self-contained network abstraction library (libnal), and the sslswamp SSL/TLS benchmark/test utility.

A Console-based BitTorrent Client with built-in scheduler for handling multiple sessions. It is designed to manage sessions in queue easily without heavy-weight GUI. External module can search for new torrents in trackers and submit it automatically.

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.

RPyC, or Remote Python Call, is a transparent and symmetrical python library for remote procedure calls, clustering and distributed-computing.

Reliable group communication based on IP multicast and configurable protocol stack

Maui Scheduler is an advanced reservation HPC parallel batch scheduler for use with Linux and BSD clusters. Maui provides a complete scientific scheduling solution, supporting running custom parallel and MPI jobs over Myrinet and ethernet.

PBS Cluster Viz is a project to display information useful to admins and users about a computing cluster managed by a PBS-compatible resource manager. Information includes load and job distribution. Interactive as well as static output is available.

This is an opensource project for the calculation of the mathematical constant Pi. If you are a mathematician or programer please contribute ideas or code for this project. Non professionals are also welcome to contribute.

Postgres-XL is a PostgreSQL-based scale-out cluster that handles both OLTP write intensive workloads as well as OLAP/BI type of workloads thanks to MPP parallelism. Postgres-XL is fully ACID and supports cluster-wide Multi-version Concurrency Control (MVCC) for global consistency and performance. There are commercial companies such as 2ndQuadrant, who provide support and consulting around Postgres-XL. Please visit http://2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/postgres-xl/ for more details.

Fura is a self-contained grid middleware that allows the grid enablement and distribution of applications on heterogeneous computational resources. Fura features a web-based GUI, wizard-guided installation and configuration, and Web Services compliance.

A PHP Client Library for beanstalkd. BeanStalk allows PHP developers to make use of the beanstalkd in-memory workqueue server (http://xph.us/software/beanstalkd).

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".

Infinispan is an open source, Java based data grid platform. ***IMPORTANT*** Starting with Infinispan 5.0.0.FINAL, Infinispan releases are no longer hosted in Sourceforge. They can now be located in www.jboss.org/infinispan/downloads

Supermon is a high-speed cluster monitoring system. Intended to monitor both OS and hardware health and status data of cluster nodes.

a 3d replacement for mosix's boring text based mon program. Interaces with gomd (www.nonngu.org/gomd) so you dont have to run this big openGL app on your cluster, just a handy server.

Atomatrix is a multithreaded execution system of atomic matrices with a dynamic compiler and a network eviron. It is the next generation object-orientated environment. XML, MUD-OO CLI, GnucDNA support, windows and many subprojects are built-in.
