libjpeg-turbo
SIMD-accelerated libjpeg-compatible JPEG codec library
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface. -

Open PHIGS
PHIGS (Programmer's Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System)
PHIGS is an API standard for rendering 3D computer graphics. During the 1990's OpenGL became a more popular 3D API for professionals, and it still is today. PHIGS remains to be widely used in the film industry. Open PHIGS uses OpenGL for rendering graphics rather than implementing it's own abstraction layer to the graphics hardware, or using the PHIGS Extension to X (PEX). The reason for doing so is that today every graphics card manufacturer provides their own OpenGL implementation, which takes full advantage of the accelerated drawing capabilities in the hardware. PHIGS is a higher level API than OpenGL that works with a hierarchical scene graph. Models are built up in a Centralized Structure Store (CSS), a database containing the drawing primitives and their attributes (color, line style, etc.). CSSes cand be shared among a number of views, known under PHIGS as a workstation. PHIGS is defined by the ISO standards ISO/IEC 9592 & 9593. Open PHIGS provides a library for C. -

LibSecRm - Secure Removal Library
A library for secure deleting data on-the-fly
LibSecRm (LIBrary for SECure ReMoval) is a set of replacements for these standard C functions which cause data removing from files. The data is first securely wiped on-the-fly, to protect the user's privacy, then the original functions are called. There is NO NEED to rebuild your software, because LibSecRm is a pre-loadable library, meaning you just need to RUN the software with LibSecRm loaded. LibSecRm is also a development library. The following wiping methods are supported: Gutmann-like, random, Schneier, DoD. See the project homepage https://libsecrm.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. To wipe data that was left on the drive by using "normal" delete operations, you can take a look at WipeFreeSpace (https://wipefreespace.sourceforge.io), which wipes the space used by files marked as deleted (and other things, too). -

Ash C++ Template Library (AshTL)
Hashing and spatial concurrency library.
AshTL aims to provide a complete framework for dealing with spatial data in an efficient, parallel manner. As such, we primarily provide container classes and data types relating to 2D and 3D coordinate grids. AshTL is currently in alpha development (some features may not work correctly, and interfaces are likely to change). While in alpha and beta development, AshTL is licensed under AGPL v3+. Stable releases will include an exception so that AshTL itself will always be AGPL, but will not force code that uses it to be. -

EVLib
Management and simulation of Electric Vehicles activities
EVLib is a library for the management and the simulation of Electric Vehicle (EV) activities, at a charging station level, within a Smart Grid environment. EVLib provides a simple, yet efficient interface for the management of all major EV related activities such as the charging and dis-charging of batteries, as well as battery swapping. Moreover, a large number of parameters, such as the number of chargers, the waiting queues, and the available energy can be easily con figured. On top of this, the library supports the simultaneous operation of many EV activities through the efficient use of threads. -

Extended C Library
Extended C Library
Why Is libxc needed? There doesn't exist a library for ANSI C99 for common data containers, such as vectors, trees, etc. There also also doesn't exist a library for common functionality, such as error reporting/logging, string functions, configuration management (reading config files), etc... The programmer working in C doesn't have anything analogous to the Boost C++ library. The extended C library is intended to make some headway into providing this functionality. To ensure unrestricted usage the libxc project is provided under the very permissive BSD license. If you need a different license then please send me a request (lelanthran at gmail) and I'll do my best to satisfy your request. What's completed? As of writing, the following libraries have been written and tested: 1. Memory accounting/tracking 2. String operations 3. Vectors 4. Trees 5. Dictionary arrays 6. Configuration management See the wiki page for more information -

LibHideIP - An IP-hiding library
A library for hiding the local IP address from applications.
LibHideIP is a library that on-the-fly (by preloading) prevents programs from knowing your IP address. This makes them unable to know and reveal your location, thus helping keep the user's privacy. There is NO NEED to rebuild your software, because LibHideIP is a pre-loadable library, meaning you just need to RUN the software with LibHideIP loaded. LibHideIP is also a development library. See the project homepage https://libhideip.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. -

LibNetBlock - A Network Blocking Library
A library for blocking access to network on-the-fly
LibNetBlock is a library that on-the-fly (by preloading) prevents a program under its control to use the network, to help to keep the user's privacy, prevent data leakage and virus spreading. You can think of LibNetBlock as a simple layer-7 (L7) firewall that simply blocks the network access for the program it controls. There is NO NEED to rebuild your software, because LibNetBlock is a pre-loadable library, meaning you just need to RUN the software with LibNetBlock loaded. LibNetBlock is also a development library. See the project homepage https://libnetblock.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. -

STMX
High-performance transactional memory for Common Lisp
STMX is a high-performance Common Lisp library for composable Transactional Memory (TM), a concurrency control mechanism aimed at making concurrent programming easier to write and understand. Instead of traditional lock-based programming, one programs with atomic memory transactions: if a memory transaction returns normally it gets committed, if instead it signals an error (Lisp slang for throwing an exception) it is rolled back. Memory transactions can safely run in parallel in different threads, are re-executed from the beginning in case of conflicts or if consistent reads cannot be guaranteed, and effects of a transaction are not visible from other threads until it commits. STMX gives freedom from deadlocks, automatic rollback on failure, and it aims at resolving the tension between granularity and concurrency. -
