LibRaw is a free and open-source software library for reading raw files from digital cameras. It supports virtually all raw formats. It is based on the source code of dcraw, with modifications, [4] and "is intended for embedding in raw converters, data analyzers, and other programs using raw files as the initial data." [5]

Contents

LibRaw is available for Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD. [6] It is included in many Linux distributions such as Arch Linux, [7] Debian, [8] Fedora, [9] Gentoo Linux, [10] openSUSE, [11] Slackware [12] and Ubuntu. [13]

Software incorporating LibRaw includes Affinity Photo, [14] digiKam, [15] EasyHDR, [16] gThumb, [17] Gwenview, IrfanView, [18] KStars, OpenImageIO, [19] Siril, [20] and Topaz Studio. [21]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Advanced Simulation Library</span>

Advanced Simulation Library (ASL) is free and open-source hardware-accelerated multiphysics simulation platform. It enables users to write customized numerical solvers in C++ and deploy them on a variety of massively parallel architectures, ranging from inexpensive FPGAs, DSPs and GPUs up to heterogeneous clusters and supercomputers. Its internal computational engine is written in OpenCL and utilizes matrix-free solution techniques. ASL implements variety of modern numerical methods, i.a. level-set method, lattice Boltzmann, immersed Boundary. Mesh-free, immersed boundary approach allows users to move from CAD directly to simulation, reducing pre-processing efforts and number of potential errors. ASL can be used to model various coupled physical and chemical phenomena, especially in the field of computational fluid dynamics. It is distributed under the free GNU Affero General Public License with an optional commercial license.
