Open Source Distributed Computing Software

MARIE is a robotic development and integration environment focused on software reusability and exploitation of already available APIs and middlewares used in robotics. Its main purpose is to create a rapid-prototyping approach to robotics developments.

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

abiquo platform allows to create intelligent distributed networks interconnecting all kind of devices. We ease the interaction between gadgets, users and organizations through empowering technologies which add intelligence to actual networks.

RealPeer is a Java framework for the simulation-based development of P2P systems. Utilising this framework a developer can build a P2P application that can be both: executed as a simulation model and as a real P2P application on a real network.

QuickServer is an open source Java library/framework for quick creation of robust and multi-threaded, multi-client TCP server applications. With QuickServer one can just concentrate on just the application logic/protocol on hand.

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.

The STEP Framework is a multi-layer Java enterprise application framework with support for Web Applications (Servlet/JSP) and Web Services.

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

A framework to run MATLAB programs as batch jobs. Features a structured input description, integrity constraints and GUI.Independent parts of a job can execute in parallel on a cluster computer. Developed at Freiburg Brain Imaging (FBI) - http://fbi.uniklinik-freiburg.de/

PHPRPC is a Remote Procedure Calling (RPC) protocol that works over the Internet. It is secure and fast. It has a smaller overhead. It is powerful and easy to use. This project is the client and server implementations of the PHPRPC.

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

An extensible framework for distributed computing on P2P grids. We support peaceful free and open research and build an internet supercomputer. We render movies, solve Eternity puzzles, predict climate and improve a ~30 GHz cluster of clients.

Distributed, object-oriented and event-driven LabVIEW based Control System Framework with some SCADA functionality. Documentation about the CS framework is provided via a dedicated web page, http://wiki.gsi.de/cgi-bin/view/CSframework/WebHome . Please note: This project is deprecated an no longer actively maintained. Please follow the link above for more information.

Damon is a Distributed AOP Middleware on top of a p2p Overlay Network. Its main aim is to offer the necessary abstractions and services to develop distributed aspects, and to provide scalability to existent or new applications transparently.

A Python-Based Distributed Runtime System for Cloud Computing.

PREESM provides a complete framework for fast prototyping. It generates a simulation and an optimized multiprocessor code from graph descriptions of algorithm and architecture. Please visit the project homepage at http://preesm.sourceforge.net.

Smart Thread Pool is a rich thread pool implemented in pure .net and can run on Windows, WindowsCE, Silverlight, ASP.NET, and Mono.

AdvancedSendandReceive is a well featured SonicMQ client application implemented in C# for Sending and Receiving of JMS messages. It was inspired by the work done for BasicSendandReceive C# sonicmq

Af-Arch is an Open Source N-tier framework to build distribuited applications. Its license schema allows Open Source and commercial (closed source) applications. This is the foundation to build an new set of applications in a fast and reliable way.

Aladdin is a dynamically extensible context acquisition and modeling framework designed for resource constrained mobile devices. Aladdin was created by Darren Carlson (http://dcarlson.info) and is currently being extended to support OSGi and Android.

Alchemi is a .NET grid computing framework that allows you to painlessly aggregate the computing power of intranet and Internet-connected machines into a virtual supercomputer (computational grid) and to develop applications to run on the grid.

Ambient Composite Engine, a web-based framework for writing composite software, submitted by WebactiveLabs.

Aracnis is a Java based framework for building distributed web spiders. These spiders can be used to accomplish a variety of tasks, for example, screen-scraping and link integrity checking.

Argos is a middleware system that lets you easily create and deploy software components, webpages, widgets, J2ME applications and panels and bind them together into services. Argos uses a microkernel that enables developers to extend the system functiona

Assimilator is a set of tools and services providing a self-monitoring, self-managing and self-healing environment for distributed computing.
