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.

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.

ClusterSSH controls a number of xterm windows via a single graphical console window to allow commands to be interactively run on multiple servers over an ssh connection.

Generic SCSI target subsystem for Linux SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices. It includes generic SCSI target core with SCSI target drivers and backend handlers. There are target drivers for iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, SAS, FCoE, etc.

GGI stands for "General Graphics Interface", and it is a project that aims to develop a reliable, stable and fast graphics system that works everywhere. We want to allow any program using GGI to run on any platform requiring at most a recompile.

The OpenSSI project is a comprehensive clustering solution offering a full, highly available SSI environment for Linux. Goals for OpenSSI Clusters include availability, scalability and manageability, built from standard servers.

EPSILON is a powerful Open Source wavelet image compressor. The project is aimed on parallel and robust image processing.

System Configurator is a utility for automatically configuring networking and bootstrapping in a Linux Distribution and Architecture agnostic way.

This project is developing a common infrastructure for Linux clustering by extending the CLuster Membership Subsystem ("CLMS") and Internode Communication Subsystem ("ICS") of the OpenSSI project.

OSCAR (Open Source Cluster Application Resources) is a snapshot of the best known methods for building, programming, and using clusters. It consists of a fully integrated and easy to install software bundle designed for high performance cluster computing

SystemImager is software that makes the installation of Linux to masses of similar machines relatively easy. It makes software distribution, configuration, and operating system updates easy, and can also be used for content distribution.

MLN (Manage Large Networks) is a perl program used to manage a set of User-Mode-Linux instances or Xen instances. From a configuration file, it is possible to specify a large complex network of e.g. Xen instances, which are each configured as specified.

Ka is a set of tools designed to help the installation and later the use/administration of a cluster of PC's under Linux. It currently includes a solution for the parallel installation of Linux on many machines, and tools for deploying data or launching

SystemInstaller is a tool to install a system with any Linux distribution. It works hand-in-hand with SystemImager and SystemConfigurator to build a cluster.

Job Accounting and User and Project managment for Clustered Computing using Perl, Apache, and MySQL. Designed to be extensible, it processes logs from currently PBS, OpenPBS and Maui2. It also contains a web frontend for User and Project Managment

Cbench is intended to be a relatively straightforward collection of tests, benchmarks, applications, utilities, and framework to hold them together with the goal to facilitate scalable testing and benchmarking of a Linux parallel compute cluster.

The VSC is a PHP/MySQL/Apache Interface for Nessus 2.x. It allows users to hierarchically manage hosts, scanning policies, and request automated immediate, future/reccuring scans of a host or group of hosts, view scan reports and generate metrics.

Genders is a static cluster configuration database used for cluster configuration management. It describes the layout and configuration of the cluster so that tools and scripts can sense the variations of cluster nodes. This project has moved to Github: https://github.com/chaos/genders

Whatsup is a cluster node up/down detection utility. This project has moved to Github: https://github.com/chaos/whatsup

ArielCLUSTER is a very tiny implementation of PVM architecture, written in perl.

Ballast is a tool for balancing user load across SSH servers that supports user-specific policies as well as traditional policies based on metrics such as CPU load. It includes a simple client, a lightweight data server, and a data collection agent.

General purpose, cross-platform, high-latency, high availability (HA) daemon. HA is achieved by IP-takeover of the virtual/HA server(s) by one or more real/redundant servers. Requires Perl 5. Designed for ease of deployment (for a HA system :-).
