Open Source Distributed Computing Software

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.

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.

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.

Distributed John is a distributed password cracking using John The Ripper. It consists of a server that handles work to the clients (each on a different machine), which use John the Ripper.

The PICI Network Messaging System is a message oriented middleware with the goal to provide a transparent layer which allows the sending and receiving of messages between different apps by a "subscribe/publish" mechanism. C++ API and runtime. Win/Linux

RainforestCluster is an Amazon EC2 python program that manages and load-balances dynamic clusters to allow for maximum workflow flexibility and speed at minimal cost. It enables one to quickly and cheaply create dynamic compute clusters in the cloud, which can then run computational pipelines generically. It is also able to optimize the use of spot instances - idle computers in Amazon's cloud that are available at drastically reduced cost (5x-10x cheaper) - but can be terminated at any moment if capacity drops or the bid price rises. It also provides pre-installed features such as GlusterFS distributed filesystems, ThunderstormDistributor queuing system, RAID 0 /scratch, password-less ssh, and automatic cluster management, for ease of use and maximum processing speed for computational tools. Originally it was developed as a different version for the Wall Lab at Harvard CBMI.

Titan allows service-oriented processing of context recognition applications on Wireless Sensor Networks. It includes an execution environment developed for TinyOS and a Java ME (Personal Profile) Network Manager intended to be run on a mobile phone.

UDAE allows developers to access data both locally and over WSN from a variety of sources, such as sensors, communications links and platform components in a unified manner.

Moscrack is a perl application designed to facilitate cracking WPA keys on a cluster of computers. This is accomplished with any one of Mosix clustering software, ssh, rsh or Pyrit connectivity to nodes. Cluster nodes can run any Un*x variant (includ

A data parallel scientific programming model. Compiles efficiently to different platforms like distributed memory (MPI), shared memory multi-processor (pthreads), Cell BE processor, Nvidia Cuda, SIMD vectorization (SSE, Altivec), and sequential C++ code.

xSTreamC is a streaming language developed by STMicroelectronics to support the mapping of data intensive streaming applications on distributed multiprocessor SoCs. A compiler and a simulation library are provided.
