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.

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

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

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

[This project moved to Github and is no longer maintained here] Minimum intrusion Grid (MiG) is an attempt to design a new platform for Grid computing which is driven by a stand-alone approach to Grid, rather than integration with existing systems. The goal of the MiG project is to provide Grid infrastructure where the requirements on users and resources alike is as small as possible (minimum intrusion). MiG strives for minimum intrusion but will seek to provide a feature rich and dependable Grid solution. In line with the minimum intrusion concept, you only need to download and install the middleware if you want to run your own Grid. Users and resources only need a certificate and a browser to use MiG.

OpenEMS™ is the multi platform Grid framework to seamlessly aggregate all your multi platform resources into a virtual super computer.

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.

The Systems Biology Workbench(SBW) is a framework for application intercommunications. It uses a broker-based, distributed, message-passing architecture, supports many languages including Java, C++, Perl & Python, and runs under Linux,OSX & Win32. It comes with a large number of modules, encompassing the whole modeling cycle: creating computational models, simulating and analyzing them, visualizing the information, in order to improve the models. All using community standards, such as SED-ML, SBML and MIRIAM.

XDAQ is a software platform designed specifically for the development of distributed data acquisition systems. The development is carried out at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Please visit http://xdaq.web.cern.ch

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.

GroupKit is a Tcl/Tk library that makes it easy to prototype and build real-time collaborative applications (groupware), such as multi-user drawing tools, text editors, meeting tools, and much more.

Distributed Parallel Programming for Python! This package builds on traditional Python by enabling users to write distributed, parallel programs based on MPI message passing primitives. General python objects can be messaged between processors. Ru

SAGA - Simple API for Grid Application. The OGF GWD-R.90 Standard (SAGA Core) Implementation(s). It comes with lots of middleware adaptors for cloud and grid middleware, like Globus, LSF, Condor, Sector/Sphere, EC2, SSH and more.

iROS is a meta-operating system for technology-rich "interactive rooms". The core components (Event Heap, DataHeap, iCrafter) provide communication, data storage, and service management for an iRoom.

InterMap is an Internet mapping application that allows the user to combine interactive maps from distributed Internet Map Servers in a browser. InterMap supports OpenGIS WMS and ESRI-ArcIMS and can be fully integrated with the GeoNetwork Metadata portal

An architecture development environment for distributed agent architectures for virtual and robotic agents with focus on human-robot interaction

This project about providing run-time support for developing Decentralized Autonomic Computing systems (Eclipse Innovation Grand). Currently the project contains a automatic guided vehicle (AGV) simulator and an editor and visualisation as eclipse plugin

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.

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.

Active Networking provides a framework in which executable code within data packets can execute upon intermediate network nodes. The goal of this research is to develop active networks that are capable of predicting their own behavior and to use this ca

C++ Widget Library for CGI/FastCGI applications based on Ajax. Test cases for Tomcat Server and XDAQ framework are available. Widgets included: Tab,Form,Button,Tree,LayoutContainer,Frame,Table,Dialog,FishEyeMenu,EventHandler, etc.

Semi-Automated Debugger for TinyOS Network Applications

BSPonMPI is an implementation of the BSPlib standard on top of MPI. Both MPI and BSPlib are API's of communication routines meant for parallel computing, but BSPlib is easier to learn and its performance easier to predict.

Blubber system is an Eclipse RCP application for distributed systems modeling. Designed for university researches and inlcudes: task graph editor; graph transformation tools; graph modelling on distributed system; real-time modelling on GerdaFramework.

A bash script that allows Seti @ Home users to queue up and process multiple work units. This means you don't have to connect to the seti servers after every work unit, and only when you want to.
