Alchemi .NET Grid Computing Framework - Alchemi is an open source software framework that allows you to painlessly aggregate the computing power of networked machines into a virtual supercomputer (computational grid) and to develop .NET applications to run on the grid.
Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) - Software platform for distributed computing using volunteered computer resources, allowing participants to participate in multiple projects. Software downloads, links to active projects, news, message boards, and other information.
Clustopium Cluster Server/Client System - The next step to distributed computer systems, A complete Java framework for implementing MultiNodal processor farms. There is a demo, but the full implementation is for sale.
Cosm - Provides an infrastructure for true distributed computing projects. This includes applications as well as APIs for users to design and build their own projects.
DataCutter Project - Research project developing a middleware framework for filtering large, scientific datasets in a cluster or Grid environment. Enables highly efficient exploration and analysis of datasets in distributed and heterogeneous environments.
GridRepublic - A non-profit organization created to provide supercomputing resources to public interest research, by use of volunteer distributed computing.
Internet Based Distributed Super Computer - Build a supercomputer using wasted CPU cycles of home and office computers. (A fledgling project looking for a sponsor and participants.)
JXTA - Language- and platform-independent protocol for peer-to-peer networking, developed by Sun. Initial implementation in Java. [Open Source, BSD-like]
Legion - Generic middleware for creating a worldwide virtual computer.
Object Management Group - Distributed object computing industry standards group founded in 1989. Defined standards include CORBA and IIOP.
OSF Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) - An industry-standard, vendor-neutral set of distributed computing technologies. Provides scalable organization of users and shared data, along with basic services such as security and naming.
Q²ADPZ - Collaborative Computing - An Open-Source project that provides software to distribute work over many computers in a network. The machines are only used during idle-time.
QUALCOMM - BREW - QUALCOMM's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW). A complete, open solution for wireless applications development, device configuration, application distribution, billing and payment.
SDSC Storage Resource Broker (SRB) - SDSC SRB provides the abstraction mechanisms needed to implement very large distributed environments like data grids, digital libraries, and persistent archives for data sharing, data publication, and data preservation.
STORM - Research project developing middleware designed to support data select, indexing, and transfer operations on large scientific datasets in a grid or clustered computing environment.
XDAQ Data Acquisition Toolkit Web Site - European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN. Current distributed XDAQ framework project. A framwork for distributed data acquisition application. Maintained by Johannes Gutleber and Luciano Orsini
ZetaGrid - An open source and platform independent grid system that uses idle CPU cycles from participating computers. ZetaGrid solves one problem in practice: numerical verification of the Riemann Hypothesis.
MacDevCenter.com: Integrating Xgrid into Cocoa Applications, Part 1 - In this first of two articles exploring Xgrid, Drew McCormack provides a little background information, then moves to installation, and finishes off with a command-line script for distributing compilation using Xgrid.
