Open Source Distributed Computing Software

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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".

Provide a common portal platform to join Internet Service Providers’ users into a community, both including personalization using "portlets" as the building blocks of .NET type applications and using a Parallel Portal Engine to overcome such demanding use

OpenECP is an open source fork of the Enomaly Elastic Computing Platform (ECP) following its commercialisation. It is a web-based management platform for hypervisors which can be used to create "public" and "private" cloud computing environments.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Bluesfield: An experimental distributed computing platform for the support of grassroots movements.

This project is a .NET implementation of the JavaSpace API along with the some examples using spaces. The software was written using the JavaSpace specification and not any other implementation. Persistence is provided via Bamboo Prevalence.

Channel is a C++ framework for distributed message passing and event dispatching, configurable with its components (msg ids,routing algorithms...) as template parameters. As a namespace shared by peer threads, channel supports scope control and filtering

Alternative implementation of Spring framework remoting subsystem that supports different schemes of remote communication between client and server (1-1, 1-many, dynamic services discovering).

The BCR flavor of Cooperative Data Sharing (CDS) is a scalable, portable, flexible C-based API and daemon for initiating and communicating between processes/threads in uniprocessor and multiprocessor (e.g. distributed, SMP, and parallel) platforms.

Cos provides a high level interface to application developers wishing to manipulate objects stored in a corportate wide data source lightweight data entries are manipulated by services that are able to appear and dissapear across the network as needed.

Java package containing architecture to distribute CPU intensive processing tasks across the internet. A generic client will be capable of running any task the server provides it, automatically updating the code it runs.

java-based complete Agent (Artificial Intelligence) Framework with all the features you might expect in an Agent Framework: Mobility, Autonomy, Distributed communication, Agents can be written in Java, Jython, or Beanshell.
