Apache ActiveMQ is a fast Message Bus which supports many Cross Language Clients and Protocols and many advanced features while fully supporting JMS 1.1 and J2EE 1.4.

Harness the spare computing cycles of idle machines to further scientific discovery.

Hadoop is a framework for running applications on large clusters of commodity hardware. The Hadoop framework transparently provides applications both reliability and data motion. Hadoop implements a ... [More] computational paradigm named map/reduce, where the application is divided into many small fragments of work, each of which may be executed or reexecuted on any node in the cluster. In addition, it provides a distributed file system that stores data on the compute nodes, providing very high aggregate bandwidth across the cluster. Both map/reduce and the distributed file system are designed so that node failures are automatically handled by the framework. [Less]

Apache Camel is a powerful rule based integration framework which provides a POJO based implementation of the Enterprise Integration Patterns using an extremely powerful fluent API (or declarative ... [More] Java Domain Specific Language) to configure routing and mediation rules. The Domain Specific Language means that Apache Camel can support type-safe smart completion of routing rules in your IDE using regular Java code without huge amounts of XML configuration files; though Xml Configuration inside Spring is also supported.

NServiceBus is a powerful, yet lightweight, open source messaging framework for designing distributed .NET enterprise systems. Entirely pluggable yet simple to use, NServiceBus gives programmers a ... [More] head-start on developing robust, scalable, and maintainable service-layers and long-running business processes. [Less]

Fura is a self-contained grid middleware that allows the grid enablement and distribution of applications on heterogeneous computational resources. Fura features a web-based GUI, wizard-guided ... [More] installation and configuration, and Web Services compliance. Fura's component based plug-in architecture allows grid services to be extended or replaced, and new services can be developed reusing existing components. [Less]

JBoss Cache is a product designed to cache frequently accessed Java objects in order to dramatically improve the performance of applications. By eliminating unnecessary database access, JBoss Cache ... [More] decreases network traffic and increases the scalability of applications. In addition, JBoss Cache is a clustering library allowing you to transparently share objects across JVMs across a cluster. JBoss Cache provides three APIs to suit your needs. The Core API offers a tree-structured node-based cache. A POJO API provides the ability to perform fine-grained replication of Java objects, resulting in maximum performance benefits. Finally, a new Searchable API allows you to run object-based queries on the cache to search for cached objects. [Less]

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. Ganglia ... [More] is currently in use on over 500 clusters around the world and has scaled to handle clusters with 2000 nodes. [Less]

Inferno® is a distributed operating system, originally developed at Bell Labs, but now developed and maintained by Vita Nuova® as Free Software. Applications written in Inferno's concurrent ... [More] programming language, Limbo, are compiled to its portable virtual machine code (Dis), to run anywhere on a network in the portable environment that Inferno provides. Unusually, that environment looks and acts like a complete operating system. The use of a high-level language and virtual machine is sensible but mundane. The interesting thing is the system's representation of services and resources. They are represented in a file-like name hiearchy. Programs access them using only the file operations open, read/write, and close. The 'files' may of course represent stored data, but may also be devices, network and protocol interfaces, dynamic data sources, and services. The approach unifies and provides basic naming, structuring, and access control mechanisms for all system resources. A single file-service protocol (called Styx or 9P2000) makes all those resources available for import or export throughout the network in a uniform way, independent of location. An application simply attaches the resources it needs to its own per-process name hierarchy ('name space'). The system can be used to build portable client and server applications. It makes it straightforward to build lean applications that share all manner of resources over a network, without the cruft of much of the 'Grid' software one sees. Inferno can run 'native' on various ARM, PowerPC, SPARC and x86 platforms but also 'hosted', under an existing operating system (including FreeBSD, Irix, Linux, MacOS X, Plan 9, and Solaris), again on various processor types.

ProActive is the Java GRID middleware library (with Open Source code under GPL license) for parallel, distributed and multi-threaded computing. ProActive is the GRID Application Server for the ... [More] Enterprise. With a reduced set of simple primitives, ProActive provides a comprehensive API to simplify the programming of Grid Computing applications: distributed on Local Area Network (LAN), on clusters of workstations, or on Internet GRIDs. ProActive is only made of standard Java classes, and requires no changes to the Java Virtual Machine, no preprocessing or compiler modification, leaving programmers to write standard Java code. [Less]
