Open Source Distributed Computing Software

SocketTest - powerful and small software tool for socket testing. It can create both TCP and UDP client or server. It can be used to test any server or client that uses TCP or UDP protocol to communicate.

A distributed, peer-to-peer, server-less communication & messaging solution for JAVA (JMS), C++ and .NET applications, integrates with JBoss, WebLogic & WebSphere. Offers guaranteed delivery, security and transactions. Supports TCP, SSL & HTTP protocols.

YaCy is a free search engine that anyone can use to build search the internet (www and ftp) or to create a search portal for others (internet or intranet). The scale of YaCy is limited only by the number of users and can index billions of web pages. In p2p mode it is fully decentralized, all users of the search engine network are equal and it is not possible for anyone to censor the content of the distributed index.

rshd is a multithreaded daemon service that listens for connections on port 514 (tcp port for the shell/cmd protocol), runs commands passed by clients and sends back the results.

This project is meant to provide ISDN CAPI 2.0 services (like fax)over a TCP/IP based network. A server (Win32/Linux) can share his ISDN cards with Clients (Win32/Linux) in the LAN.

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.

IIOP.NET allows a seamless interoperation between .NET, CORBA and J2EE distributed objects. This is done by incorporating CORBA/IIOP support into .NET, leveraging the remoting framework.

The TclSOAP package provides a mechanism to bind Tcl command procedures to remote procedure calls using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and XML-RPC over HTTP. Both client and server code is provided.

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

Generic clustering/load-balancing platform (over a LAN or internet) using java based P2P Aorta workers that execute java "tasklets". Various tasklets can be implemented to solve fractals, process images, render webpages, crack RSA "brute force".

isectd is a middleware daemon that provides many-to-many client-to-server connectivity. Supports multiplexing requests to multiple server processes over IP networks.

Reliable group communication based on IP multicast and configurable protocol stack

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.

DropboxMQ is an implementation of the Java Message Service API that uses a shared file system to store and distribute messages. A dropbox is a set of shared directories that relies on atomicity of file move operations to settle contention for messages.

Infranet is a system that attempts to circumvent web censorship by allowing clients to surreptitiously request sensitive content via cooperating Web servers distributed across the global Internet.

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.

Active Networking provides a framework in which executable code within data packets can execute upon intermediate network nodes. The goal of this research is to develop active networks that are capable of predicting their own behavior and to use this ca

Note: There is a successor of AsyncWcfLib: https://github.com/steforster/Remact.Net AsyncWcfLib is a software library for distributed computing based on Microsoft WCF. AsyncWcfLib is a lightweight message bus bridging Windows and Linux by using the .NET Framework or Mono. It supports callback based asynchrony as well as the new async-await pattern available in .NET 4.5. AsyncWcfLib supports threadsafety through an actor based programming model. Actors are loosly coupled system units interacting by passing messages. Message objects are passed inside a process between actors running on different threads. Also, messages may be passed between actors running on different processes, hosts and operating systems. The library is designed for configuration free, asynchronous messaging. A router application is included. It discovers actors by their name on any linked host, even when host name resolution is not possible because of routing- or operating system limitations.

Bionanny is a tool for Web Services providers. It allows to monitor other Web Services. It can intercept requests incoming from clients, pass it to the destination Web Service and log number of requests and elapsed time spend by services.

BitDHT is a LGPL'd general purpose C++ Distributed Hash Table library. It is designed to take hassle out over creating your own DHT. BitDHT is compatible with bitttorrent's DHT and can leverage this network to bootstrap your own personal DHT.

BlindEyes is an open-source distributed framework designed to allow the distribution and chaining together of code in many popular languages.

Borg = Mobile Multi agent system with support for strong migration, serialisation and location transparaent routing. Interpreter= prototype based. Compiles for macintosh, windows, linux, freebsd, solaris and palm.

Two way communication from any Excel, PowerPoint, Word application to Linux. The Brain is a custom TCP server, running under Linux, capable of accepting multiple connections from VBA objects and redistributing or storing the information in real-time.

CACANMS is an acronym for Computer Aided Campus Area Network Management System. The system consists of software components and a library of about 60 classes. It is divided into three types of subsystems which reside on different servers and communicate.

Remotor is a Java web service system. It is a very easy to use and a very fast remote procedure call engine (alike RMI | RPC). No need for Stubs, Skeletons and Naming-Services. Remotor is one of many building blocks for the COMJAT.NET framework suite.
