Projects

Open MPI

Open MPI is a project that originated as the merging of technologies and resources from several other projects (FT- MPI, LA-MPI, LAM/MPI, and PACX-MPI) in order to build the best MPI library available. A completely new MPI-2 compliant implementation, Open MPI offers advantages for system and ... [More] software vendors, application developers, and computer science researchers. It is easy to use, and runs natively on a wide variety of operating systems, network interconnects, and batch/scheduling systems. [Less]

openMosix

openMosix is a a set of extensions to the standard Linux kernel allowing you to build a cluster of out of off-the-shelf PC hardware. openMosix scales perfectly up to thousands of nodes. You do not need to modify your applications to benefit from your cluster (unlike PVM, MPI, Linda, etc.). Processes ... [More] in openMosix migrate transparently between nodes and the cluster will always auto-balance. [Less]

xcpu

claimed by Los Alamos National Lab

The XCPU project comprises of a suite of tools for cluster management. It includes utilities for spawning jobs, management of cluster resources, scalable distribution of boot images across a cluster as well as tools for creation and control of virtual machines in a cluster environment.

Kusu

Project Kusu is the open source base for the next generation of Platform Open Cluster Stack 5 (OCS). It is designed from the ground up with the following goals in mind: * Simplified cluster management, operation and deployment * Support for multiple Linux Distributions including Red Hat ... [More] Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Fedora, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, OpenSuSE and Ubuntu Linux * Modular and hybrid stack that transparently integrates open source and commercial software into a single consistent cluster operating environment * Standards-based, open and vendor-certified [Less]

Lucie

Lucie is a cluster installation and configuration tool. It enables parallel network installation of large numbers of nodes from one single administration server. The Lucie installer performs HDD partitioning and installations of the Linux kernel and required software packages. The Lucie configurator ... [More] then generates system and software configurations. Lucie is designed to be scalable and efficient, so a complete Linux cluster can be built from scratch in a short amount of time. Moreover, the whole installation process is designed to be fully automated. [Less]

bWatch

bWatch - Linux cluster monitoring software.

elasticwulf

The ElasticWulf project consists of Python command line tools to launch and configure a beowulf cluster on Amazon EC2. We also include AMI build scripts for master and worker nodes based on x64 Fedora Core 6 instances. The final machine images are publicly available on Amazon: IMAGE ... [More] ami-e813f681 datawrangling-images/FC6×64-ec2wulf-master.manifest.xml IMAGE ami-eb13f682 datawrangling-images/FC6×64-ec2wulf-worker.manifest.xml The Python cluster management code should be uploaded the Monday after PyCon... PyCon 2008 Slides Getting started tutorial for the older 32 bit version The new x64 images include IPython1 and other useful packages like: BLAS/LAPACK Numpy/Scipy ipython matplotlib OpenMPI MPICH MPICH2 LAM Xwindows NFS Ganglia C3 tools Twisted mpi4py boto [Less]

ganglia-multicast-hack

Quick hack to use ganglia in a cluster with a non-multicasting switch. Doesn't scale too well, usable on a 24 cluster though. Idea: listen to port serverPort (8666 as default) for gmetad's request for XML data and when connected, gather XML from individual nodes from port gmondport and serve it to gmetad.

LAM/MPI

LAM/MPI is a high-quality open-source implementation of the Message Passing Interface specification, including all of MPI-1.2 and much of MPI-2. Intended for production as well as research use, LAM/MPI includes a rich set of features for system administrators, parallel programmers, application ... [More] users, and parallel computing researchers. This project is deprecated in favor of Open MPI. [Less]

platformocs

Platform Open Cluster Stack (OCS) is a cluster toolkit that allows users to quickly build and manage a Linux Beowulf-style cluster. It borrows heavily from the SDSC Cluster toolkit at San Diego, but has additional tools and functionality. http://my.platform.com/
