BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is a software platform for volunteer computing and desktop grid and volunteer computing.



Distri.js is described as 'A software family that brings distributed computing to the browser, including a server and client' and is an app in the development category. There are eight alternatives to Distri.js for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Mac, Windows, Android and Java Mobile apps. The best Distri.js alternative is BOINC, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Distri.js are Apache Mesos, Folding@home, JPPF and DIET.

Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that simplifies the complexity of running applications on a shared pool of servers.

Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals.
The open source grid computing solution. JPPF makes it easy to parallelize computationally intensive tasks and execute them on a Grid.
DIET is a software for grid-computing. As middleware, DIET sits between the operating system (which handles the details of the hardware) and the application software (which deals with the specific computational task at hand).

PelicanHPC is an iso-hybrid (CD or USB) image that let's you set up a high performance computing cluster in a few minutes.
