Open Source C Distributed Computing Software

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.

CloudI is an open-source private cloud computing framework for efficient, secure, and internal data processing. CloudI provides scaling for previously unscalable source code with efficient fault-tolerant execution of ATS, C/C++, Erlang/Elixir, Go, Haskell, Java, JavaScript/node.js, OCaml, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, or Rust services. The bare essentials for efficient fault-tolerant processing on a cloud!

A windows port of ONC/RPC library. The ONC/RPC is an implementation of a remote procedure call protocol for distributing applications over one or more computers. ONC/RPC was originally developed by SUN. This port was originally part of the TACO project.

SAGA - Simple API for Grid Application. The OGF GWD-R.90 Standard (SAGA Core) Implementation(s). It comes with lots of middleware adaptors for cloud and grid middleware, like Globus, LSF, Condor, Sector/Sphere, EC2, SSH and more.

Based on the source code of Sun Grid Engine, we are continuing the open source development effort here on sourceforge.

A general purpose implementation of the xmlrpc specification in C.

Slurm is a replacement for other resource management software and schedulers like gridengine or torque. The slurm roll integrates very well into a rocks clusters installation. In the folder addons, there are a lot of useful rolls for rocks clusters 6.1 and 6.2. These rolls do not depend on slurm. Please see Discussion for further information and support

Provides a remotely (or locally) scriptable JVM along with a perl & C client

Postgres-XL is a PostgreSQL-based scale-out cluster that handles both OLTP write intensive workloads as well as OLAP/BI type of workloads thanks to MPP parallelism. Postgres-XL is fully ACID and supports cluster-wide Multi-version Concurrency Control (MVCC) for global consistency and performance. There are commercial companies such as 2ndQuadrant, who provide support and consulting around Postgres-XL. Please visit http://2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/postgres-xl/ for more details.

DMTCP (Distributed MultiThreaded Checkpointing) transparently checkpoints a single-host or distributed computation in user-space -- with no modifications to user code or to the O/S. It works on most Linux applications, including Python, Matlab, R, GUI desktops, MPI, etc. It is robust and widely used (on Sourceforge since 2007). For the newest releases of DMTCP, please go to: https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp Among the applications supported by DMTCP are MPI (various implementations), OpenMP, MATLAB, Python, Perl, R, and many programming languages and shell scripting languages. With the use of TightVNC, it can also checkpoint and restart X-Window applications. The OpenGL library for 3D-graphics is supported through a special plugin. It also has strong support for HPC (High Performance Computing) environments, including MPI and SLURM, through the github MANA project: https://github.com/mpickpt/mana

GroupKit is a Tcl/Tk library that makes it easy to prototype and build real-time collaborative applications (groupware), such as multi-user drawing tools, text editors, meeting tools, and much more.
