Open Source Distributed Computing Software

The purpose of the project is to develop a portable programming framework that facilitates distributed and multi-threaded programming for C++, Java, and Python. MADARA was originally developed as an agent-based middleware specifically for real-time, distributed artificial intelligence, but is now more general purpose for distributed timing, control, knowledge and reasoning, and quality-of-service. MADARA is composed of several tools and middleware, and the main entry point into the system is the Knowledge and Reasoning Language (KaRL) Engine, which provides a real-time scripting language for nanosecond execution times hooked into a flexible transport layer for distributed reasoning. The KaRL engine also supports object-oriented C++, Java, and Python programming through Containers, classes that provide abstractions and references for variable location within the KaRL Knowledge Base. This project is currently in process of being ported from http://madara.googlecode.com.

MARIE is a robotic development and integration environment focused on software reusability and exploitation of already available APIs and middlewares used in robotics. Its main purpose is to create a rapid-prototyping approach to robotics developments.

MARF is a general cross-platform framework with a collection of algorithms for audio (voice, speech, and sound) and natural language text analysis and recognition along with sample applications (identification, NLP, etc.) of its use, implemented in Java.

RPyC, or Remote Python Call, is a transparent and symmetrical python library for remote procedure calls, clustering and distributed-computing.

An extensible framework for distributed computing on P2P grids. We support peaceful free and open research and build an internet supercomputer. We render movies, solve Eternity puzzles, predict climate and improve a ~30 GHz cluster of clients.

QuickServer is an open source Java library/framework for quick creation of robust and multi-threaded, multi-client TCP server applications. With QuickServer one can just concentrate on just the application logic/protocol on hand.

Af-Arch is an Open Source N-tier framework to build distribuited applications. Its license schema allows Open Source and commercial (closed source) applications. This is the foundation to build an new set of applications in a fast and reliable way.

Distributed, object-oriented and event-driven LabVIEW based Control System Framework with some SCADA functionality. Documentation about the CS framework is provided via a dedicated web page, http://wiki.gsi.de/cgi-bin/view/CSframework/WebHome . Please note: This project is deprecated an no longer actively maintained. Please follow the link above for more information.

Channel is a C++ framework for distributed message passing and event dispatching, configurable with its components (msg ids,routing algorithms...) as template parameters. As a namespace shared by peer threads, channel supports scope control and filtering

A Python-Based Distributed Runtime System for Cloud Computing.

Raindrop is a Java based framework based on SEDA (Staged Event Driven Architecture) principles. It focuses on providing highly concurrent server side throughput by managing and controlling Thread usage and concurrency primitives.

AdvancedSendandReceive is a well featured SonicMQ client application implemented in C# for Sending and Receiving of JMS messages. It was inspired by the work done for BasicSendandReceive C# sonicmq

Aladdin is a dynamically extensible context acquisition and modeling framework designed for resource constrained mobile devices. Aladdin was created by Darren Carlson (http://dcarlson.info) and is currently being extended to support OSGi and Android.

Alchemi is a .NET grid computing framework that allows you to painlessly aggregate the computing power of intranet and Internet-connected machines into a virtual supercomputer (computational grid) and to develop applications to run on the grid.

Ambient Composite Engine, a web-based framework for writing composite software, submitted by WebactiveLabs.

Aracnis is a Java based framework for building distributed web spiders. These spiders can be used to accomplish a variety of tasks, for example, screen-scraping and link integrity checking.

Argos is a middleware system that lets you easily create and deploy software components, webpages, widgets, J2ME applications and panels and bind them together into services. Argos uses a microkernel that enables developers to extend the system functiona

Assimilator is a set of tools and services providing a self-monitoring, self-managing and self-healing environment for distributed computing.
