The Maui Scheduler is a tool to to extend the capabilities of existing resource manager systems such as PBS, SGE, Loadleveler, and so forth. It provides powerful tools for managing and optimizing clusters systems and features to enable effective use of t

OpenECP is an open source fork of the Enomaly Elastic Computing Platform (ECP) following its commercialisation. It is a web-based management platform for hypervisors which can be used to create "public" and "private" cloud computing environments.

OpenJCS (Job Control System) is a batch scheduling and control system for use on Unix systems which uses load balancing, dependency control, scheduling, runbooks, queueing and resource allocation subsystems for unmatched scalability and flexibility.

pdo allows users to run SSH commands on multiple remote hosts in parallel, or run commands (such as rsync etc.) locally against multiple remote hosts in parallel.

Sneer is a sovereign computing platform to share information and hardware resources at your own pleasure.

NOTE: UBMoD is no longer actively developed and we encourage you to download Open XDMoD as a replacement for UBMoD. Open XDMoD has been developed to provide detailed information on resource utilization and performance for academic and industrial HPC centers. More information is available at http://xdmod.sourceforge.net/ UBMoD is a data warehouse and web portal for mining statistical data from resource managers in high-performance computing environments. UBMoD presents resource utilization over set time periods and provides detailed interactive charts, graphs, and tables.

This project proposes the development of a system that automatically balances the load of virtualized servers, monitoring their resources and migrating virtual machines if necessary. The main goal of Vmbal is to improve the usage of server resources.
