TurboVNC is a high-performance, enterprise-quality version of VNC based on TightVNC, TigerVNC, and X.org. It contains a variant of Tight encoding that is tuned for maximum performance and compression with 3D applications (VirtualGL), video, and other image-intensive workloads. TurboVNC, in combination with VirtualGL, provides a complete solution for remotely displaying 3D applications with interactive performance. TurboVNC's high-speed encoding methods have been adopted by TigerVNC and libvncserver, and TurboVNC is also compatible with any other TightVNC derivative. TurboVNC forked from TightVNC in 2004 and still covers all of the TightVNC 1.3.x features, but TurboVNC contains numerous feature enhancements and bug fixes relative to TightVNC, and it compresses 3D and video workloads much better than TightVNC while using generally only 5-20% of the CPU time of the latter. Using non-default settings, TurboVNC can also be made to compress 2D workloads as "tightly" as TightVNC.

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.

XmlRpc++ is an implementation of the XmlRpc protocol written in C++, based upon Shilad Sen's excellent py-xmlrpc library. It is designed to make it easy to incorporate XmlRpc client+server support into C++ applications and requires no other libraries.

Son of Grid Engine is a community continuation of the old Sun Grid Engine project. It aims to be a big superset of available free gridengine code and patches. The main site is currently https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ and https://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/ but release files are inaccessible there and being hosted here.

Tpl makes it easy to serialize your C data using just a handful of API functions. The data is stored in its native binary form for maximum efficiency. C, Perl and XML supported. Data is portable across CPU types and OS's from Unix to Mac to Windows.

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.

Open Source Remote Sensing OSSIM project, pronounced "awesome", will leverage existing algorithms/tools/packages from the open source community in construction of the ultimate Remote Sensing/Image Processing/GIS package. osgPlanet extends OSSIM and Op

"QoS_Man" is a project for simulating QoS manager in Dynamic Real-Time Systems(DRTS).The QoS manager is just part of proposed architechtural model for resource management in DRTS.For more information, visit "results n papers" dir in cvs repository.

SAFMQ: Store and Forward Message Queue, message oriented middleware. Uses include Assured Async Messaging, SOA, Delayed/Batch, and Cluster/Grid Computing. The SAFMQ server provides cross platform communication among C++, PHP, Java, and .NET clients.

The NEO Project uses the NEO-c (Network Exchange Operation for Charity) platform to participate in various computing challenges and projects, and donates any winnings to the charities specified by its users.

Acelet-Scheduler with SuperScheduler and SuperWatchdog is a Java task scheduler with daemon and GUI for system and application job scheduling, can schedule tasks in a distributed environment. Holiday adjustable. Works out-box. See http://www.acelet.com

JCA compliant connectors for the Berkeley Database system.

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.

An opensource implementation of JavaSpaces

Boiler-plate code for bootstrapping CORBA 2.5+ applications. The goal is to create a set of cooperative services and components needed by CORBA apps. Essentially, a pre-fabricated CORBA infrastructure that facilitates component based software engineering

Software for reliable url cloaking system using low q.o.s hosts and lines such as home PC's and dsl or cable connections. CDUCK combined DNS-server and webserver functionality and strict security for the creation of reliable domain web cloaking.

Cheshire3 is a fast Z39.50, SRW, XML search engine, written in Python for extensability and using C libraries for speed. Next generation of the Cheshire system (http://cheshire.berkeley.edu) and designed around a distributable, object oriented model.

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.

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.

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.

The gnuDict use plugins to connect to different dictionaries (stardict, dictd, babylon..)

The project focuses on developing an environment where one can harness idle CPU cycles of numerous networked systems to work together on a particularly processing-intensive problem. (distributed computing you may call it)
