This command-line utility is intended to provide quick access to current weather conditions and forecasts. Presently, it is capable of returning data for localities throughout the USA by retrieving and formatting decoded METARs (Meteorological Aerodrome Reports) from NOAA (the USA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and forecasts from NWS (the USA National Weather Service). The tool is written to function in the same spirit as other command- line informational utilities like cal(1), calendar(1) and dict(1). It can retrieve arbitrary weather data via specific command-line switches (station ID, city, state), or aliases can be configured system wide and on a per-user basis. It can be freely used and redistributed under the terms of a BSD-like License.

Audiere is a high-level audio API. It can play Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, uncompressed WAV, AIFF, MOD, S3M, XM, and IT files. For audio output, Audiere supports DirectSound or WinMM in Windows, OSS on Linux and Cygwin, and SGI AL on IRIX. Audiere is open source and licensed under the LGPL. This means that you may freely use Audiere in commercial products, as long as you do not modify the source code. If you do modify Audiere and release a product that uses your modifications, you must release your changes to the code under the LGPL as well. Audiere is portable. It is tested on Windows, Linux-i386, Cygwin, and IRIX with at least three major compilers. Most of Audiere is endian-independent, so I expect it would work with few modifications on other architectures.

DSSI (pronounced "dizzy") is an API for audio processing plugins, particularly useful for software synthesis plugins with user interfaces. DSSI is an open and well-documented specification developed for use in Linux audio applications, although portable to other platforms. It may be thought of as LADSPA-for-instruments, or something comparable to VSTi. DSSI consists of a C language API for use by plugins and hosts, based on the LADSPA API, and an OSC (Open Sound Control) API for use in user interface to host communications. The DSSI specification consists of an RFC which describes the background for the proposal and defines the OSC part of the specification, and a documented header file which defines the C API.

Shorten reduces the size of waveform files (such as audio) using Huffman coding of prediction residuals and optional additional quantisation. In lossless mode the amount of compression obtained depends on the nature of the waveform. Those composing of low frequencies and low amplitudes give the best compression, which may be 2:1 or better. Lossy compression operates by specifying a minimum acceptable segmental signal to noise ratio or a maximum bit rate. Lossy compression operates by zeroing the lower order bits of the waveform, so retaining waveform shape. Permission is granted to use this software for decoding and non-commercial encoding (e.g. private or research use). If you intend to use shorten, be sure to check the full license, which can be displayed by "shorten -l".

soundgrab is designed to help you slice up a big long raw audio file (by default 44.1 kHz 2 channel signed sixteen bit little endian) and save your favorite sections to other files. It does this by providing you with a cassette player like command line interface. Commands like ff <secs>, rw <secs>, jump <offset_from_start> can be used while the volume is being played or while it is stopped to move the player head around. The commands mark and name allow you to give names to sections between the mark and the current position of the player head (like emacs mark and point concept), and the export command exports the named sections to other files in wav, cdr (CD mastering), or raw format (or ogg or flac format if the appropriate encoder binaries are found on your system).

RAMspeed is a command line utility to measure cache and memory performance of computer systems. It offers 18 cache and memory benchmarks for i386 and amd64 machines, though 6 only for alpha ones. There are *mark benchmarks such as INTmark, FLOATmark, MMXmark and SSEmark. They operate with linear (sequential) data streams passed through ALU, FPU, MMX and SSE units respectively. There are also *mem benchmarks such as INTmem, FLOATmem, MMXmem and SSEmem. These are supposed to illustrate how fast is actual read/write memory performance. There are also non-temporal versions of MMX and SSE benchmarks. They have been coded with special instructions to minimise cache pollution on memory reads and to eliminate it completely on memory writes. In addition, they operate with a built in aggressive data prefetching algorithm. In some cases, non-temporal MMXmark and SSEmark can deliver almost 100% of theoretical bandwidth while reading.

ARIADNE is a package of two programs, ariadne and prospero, that compare protein sequences and profiles using the Smith-Waterman algorithm, and assesses statistical significance using a new accurate formula, described in Mott, 2000, "Accurate Formula for P-values of gapped local sequence and profile alignments" J. Mol Biol. 300:649-659. The sequence/profile comparison algorithms used in ARIADNE are standard, and are probably not the fastest implementations available. The novel part is the method for determining statistical significance, which will give thresholds of significance that are accurate to within 5% 95% of the time. The package is written in ANSI C. You are free to incorporate the method used for assessing statistical significance into third-party code, provided you cite the above reference. The routines for assessing significance are all in gaplib.c

ProtoMol is an object-oriented, component based, framework for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The framework supports the CHARMM 19 and 28a2 force fields and is able to process PDB, PSF, XYZ and DCD trajectory files. It is designed for high flexibility, easy extendibility and maintenance, and high performance demands, including parallelization. The technique of multiple time-stepping is used to improve long-term efficiency. The use of fast electrostatic force evaluation algorithms like Ewald, particle Mesh Ewald (PME), and Multigrid (MG) summation further enhances performance. Longer time steps are possible using MOLLY, Langevin Molly and Hybrid Monte Carlo, Nose-Hoover, and Langevin integrators. In addition, ProtoMol has been designed to interact with VMD, a visualization engine developed by the University of Illinois that is used for displaying large biomolecular systems in three dimensions. ProtoMol is freely distributed software, and the source code is available.

BRL-CAD is a powerful Combinatorial/Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) solid modeling system that includes an interactive geometry editor, ray-tracing support for rendering and geometric analysis, network-distributed framebuffer support, image and signal-processing tools, and an embedded scripting language. The package is a collection of over 400 tools and utilities across over 750,000 lines of source code. Included is support for various geometric data format conversions, image and signal processing capabilities, sophisticated ray-tracing based lighting models, network distributed ray-tracing, massively parallel ray-tracing, animation capabilities, data compression, image handling, and interactive 3-D geometric editing. Included is an implementation of Weiler's n-Manifold Geometry (NMG) data structures for surface-based solid models and photon mapping.
