Holographic storage for distributed applications -- a validating monotonic DHT "backed" by authoritative hashchains for data provenance (a Ceptr sub-project) - holochain/holochain-proto
A full stack, reactive architecture for general purpose programming. Algebraic and monadically composable primitives for concurrency, parallelism, event handling, transactions, multithreading, Web, and distributed computing with complete de-inversion of control (No callbacks, no blocking, pure state)
Thrill is a C++ framework for distributed Big Data computations on a cluster. It is currently in development and aims to be more versatile and performant than Java-based alternatives.
Apache Mesos abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources away from machines (physical or virtual), enabling fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems to easily be built and run effectively.
