Software for Linux Clustering:

Arla: Arla is a free AFS implementation.  AFS is a distributed filesystem that enables co-operating hosts (clients and servers) to efficiently share filesystem resources across both local area and wide area networks.

BProc: BProc, The Beowulf Distributed Process Space, is a set of kernel modifications, utilities, and libraries which allow a user to start processes on other machines in a Beowulf-style cluster. Remote processes started with this mechanism appear in the process table of the front end machine in the cluster.

Clunix: The clunix tools are a free, GPL'd set of utilities for managing a Linux cluster. The components are a perl based load balancer, a php based web interface for monitoring the state of the cluster, and a daemon.

Torque: Torque (the Terascale Open-source Resource QUEue manager) is a resource manager based on OpenPBS that provides control over batch jobs and distributed compute nodes.

Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP):  The LTSP is a way to run thin client computers in a Linux environment.

Paradyn: Paradyn is a tool for measuring the performance of sequential, distributed, and parallel programs. It can monitor large, long running programs and provides facilities for helping to automatically find performance problems in complex parallel programs.

System Installation Suite: The System Installation Suite is the grand project name for the joint effort of System Configurator, SystemImager, and System Installer. All three are being developed to work together to provide an easy to use solution for installing and configuring a cluster of heterogenous hardware and to be distibution agnostic. This is the project homepage, with links to the sites of the three projects, and more information on how they will work together.
