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.

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.

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.

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/

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.

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).

Compiere MFG+SCM Manufacturing Extended System (MES). Include Shop Floor Control, Supply chain management, Quality management, modbus interface, iReport barcode extension etc. Support batch and on demand manufacturing. Works alone or connected to ERP.

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.

asyncoro is a Python framework for developing concurrent, distributed, network programs with asynchronous completions and coroutines. Asynchronous completions implemented in asyncoro are sockets (non-blocking sockets), database cursors, sleep timers and locking primitives. Programs developed with asyncoro have same logic and structure as Python programs with threads, except for a few syntactic changes. asyncoro supports socket I/O notification mechanisms epoll, kqueue, /dev/poll (and poll and select, where necessary), and Windows I/O Completion Ports (IOCP) for high performance and scalability, and SSL for security

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.

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.

A lightweight Framework to build remote applications.

Blackboard implements a lightweight, portable tuple space suitable for multi-agent system and distributed component design. Supports implicit invocation via content-filtered asynchronous events, blocking call semantics, and shared memory messaging.

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

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

Clutch is a Java framework for distributed computing using mobile agents. Built using ProActive [http://www-sop.inria.fr/sloop/javall/], it is meant to be a scalable toolkit that can be used to distribute computation across an arbitrary number of nodes.

CoDeK - Java Concurrent Development frameworK is a very simple, open-source, academic java library aimed to help the development of Java multi-threading concurrent applications.

The CodeTime platform covers every aspect of parallel software from authoring, through distribution, to run-time. Its goals are: high programmer productivity; write once, run high performance anywhere; and wide acceptance.

CDs can be thought of as a mechanism to support fine-grained, hierarchical, application-directed, uncoordinated checkpoint and restore. Containment Domains (CDs) were created to allow an application to recover in the face of various types of component failures, including hard (e.g. persistent) and soft (e.g. transient) hardware failures, transient software failures, and complete node failures.

Cuckoo is an open source Resource Adapter for SAP that is compatible to the Java Connector Architecture (JCA) version 1.5. It enables developers of Java EE applications to call functions in a SAP backend, making use of Java EE features like Container Managed Transactions and Security.

DDGP is a simple grid platform written in Java. It focuses on distributed computing and data gathering in Internet environment. Intended for smaller projects requiring couple hundreds of computers gathered together for a master-worker like jobs.
