Nothing I'm really proud of...  but I hope it will give you more ideas.

DCP : dynamic computation platfrom (or even "discrete" computation platform)
ODCP : open dynamic computation platfrom
OSPEM : open source platform for explicit methods
OPEC/OPEX/OPEXCO : open platform for explicit computing
OFEC/OFEX/OFEXCO : open framework for explicit computing
OXFrame : open explicit platform
OXNAM : open and explicit
