The STAR-MPI (Self-tuned adaptive routines for MPI collective routines) project is an on-going research and development effort to apply the adaptive software approach to develop efficient MPI collective routines across platforms and applications.

Safe Lua is a variant of Lua tailored for advanced sandboxing.

Shift is a lightweight framework for high performance local and remote file transfers that provides resiliency across a wide variety of failure scenarios through various techniques. These include end-to-end integrity via cryptographic hashes, throttling of transfers to prevent resource exhaustion, balancing transfers across resources based on load and availability, and parallelization of transfers across multiple source and destination hosts for increased redundancy and performance.

Simdist lets you harness the power of cluster computing without any knowledge of parallel libraries such as MPI, and with no restrictions on programming language. Primarily targeted at evolutionary computing and similar master-slave configurations.

Soutei is a trust-management system for access control in distributed systems. Soutei policies and credentials are written in a declarative logic-based language. Soutei policies are modular, concise, readable, supporting conditional delegation.

Spif is Simplest Possible Infrastructure Framework for distributed Java applications like J2EE. Spif defines a simple api for object access and uses a chain of responsibility to realize various infrastructures through simple building blocks.

Splash is the combination of an Active Network (SNAP) and network management extensions based on SNMP. It can process network management requests at the same speed as SNMP, while it also allows for more flexible solutions not possible with SNMP.

TaskManager is an open source infrastructure software for distributing and managing calculation jobs in a Unix computer cluster environment. The TaskManager was designed to control the utilization of a set of hosts even if you are not the administrator of the system. The hosts are embedded in a Unix environment and the user's home directories are mounted on each host. The hosts may have different numbers of CPUs/cores and different kernels. Keep in mind that a user is able to log into each host and calculate on it. However, he should use the TaskManager to submit calculation jobs to the cluster to avoid an overload of the hosts. Jobs which are under the control of the TaskManager are executed on a host of the computer cluster with the rights of the respective user to ensure that the executing jobs have the permission to access the user's files.

A Java implementation of the Common Gnutella2 Standard specification. The Treehouse Project provides a generic framework for P2P applications that use the Gnutella 2 infrastructure for distributed computing.

Webmin module for Torque resource manager monitoring and administration. Also works with OpenPBS and PBSPro servers.

UberMQ is a clean-room implementation of the JMS 1.1 API (topics and queues), based on Java NIO for speed and scalability. It supports TCP, SSL and LRMP multicast connectivity, and is highly pluggable so you can customize various aspects to your needs.

WatchTower is a cloud server monitoring and management tool. This is actually a suite of tools that includes a dashboard and associated RESTful web services required for managing the servers and services. The dashboard uses PHP/MySQL (requires php5+), html, and css. It's all open source and very easy to work with and make changes. The client I'm using is included and is written in python. Currently tested with Python 2.4 and 2.6, but should work with any version. I'm not using anything special. My plans also include monitoring/managing of Windows servers through the same python client, but compiled into a working exe, but I will work on that when the Linux client is finished first.

Sight provides a friendly interface to create and connect agents for bioinformatics. The workflow supports multiple responses to a single request, structure transforms, filters and request history access.Can talk with ordinary http servers (get and post)

Gossip based distributed information monitoring system for a cluster of Linux nodes. The package includes a daemon to run on every node of the cluster and client programs for obtaining and displaying information about all nodes

LIXA (LIbre XA) is an open source and free Transaction Manager implementing the distributed transaction processing "XA specification" and "TX (transaction demarcation) specification" according to the X/Open CAE Specification. LIXA implements even XTA: XA Transaction API, an innovative API that implements XA transactional context passing among different applications. LIXA is a Transaction Manager but it's not a Transaction Monitor: this is the distinguishing feature of the project. LIXA technology enables every application container, like a web server or a shell, to become a two phase commit application server. The client/server architecture of LIXA allows many application containers to share a single LIXA (state) server: this is ideal when horizontal scalability is a must and many identical application containers must refer to a single transactional environment. LIXA can be used with the C, C++, Java, Python and COBOL programming languages.

lysis is working on a features rich home automation system that ranges from CAN-bus, 1-wire and RF up to a HTPC; both hardware and software are addressed to make the really smart home; the domotics will provide energy saving, comfort, flexibility, safety

Useful to split up jobs over multiple CPU cores or even multiple computers. Examples: tar -cf - /bigdirectory | splitjob -j 4 gzip > big.tar.gz splitjob "ssh h1 bzip2" "ssh h2 bzip2" < f > f.bz2

Supermon is a high-speed cluster monitoring system. Intended to monitor both OS and hardware health and status data of cluster nodes.

TACO is a toolkit for building distributed control systems or any other distributed system. It is based on a C/C++ core. It is based on the client-server model. It supports writing clients and server on Unix+Windows. Clients and servers can be written in

Cognitive agent based social simulation toolkit (RBOT+MRS) / production system based on ACT-R (http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu) allows for modelling single actor cognitive experiments (RBOT) and multiple actors in a simulated (semiotic) world (RBOT + MRS).

The main goal of the project is to explore different techniques and approaches related to general communicating processes, simulation, distributed processing, game "world simulation", dynamic signal processing etc.

1hub is an IPC tool with a file-system interface and a (genuinely) simple textual protocol.

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).

ABQS Batch Queue System - Runs UNIX jobs in the background. Time consuming Jobs like Database-Queries can be started through simple cusom Web-Interfaces without the need to wait for their completion and thus risking a Browser-Timeout. Come back later to
