The Open MPI Project is an MPI-3 implementation that is developed and maintained by a consortium of academic, research, and industry partners. Open MPI is therefore able to combine the expertise, technologies, and resources from all across the High Performance Computing community in order to build the best MPI library available. Open MPI offers advantages for system and software vendors, application developers and computer science researchers.

This version of Open MPI has an implementation of MPI_Init_thread that provides MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE. This won't work correctly with all transports (such as openib), and the performance is generally worse than the vanilla openmpi package, which only provides MPI_THREAD_FUNNELED.

Gotcha is a library that wraps functions. Tools can use gotcha to install hooks into other libraries, for example putting a wrapper function around libc's malloc. It is similar to LD_PRELOAD, but operates via a programmable API.

hwloc provides a portable abstraction (across OS, versions, architectures, ...) of the hierarchical topology of modern architectures, including NUMA memory nodes, sockets, shared caches, cores and simultaneous multithreading. It also gathers various attributes such as cache and memory information. It primarily aims at helping high-performance computing applications with gathering information about the hardware so as to exploit it accordingly and efficiently.

hwloc may display the topology in multiple convenient formats. It also offers a powerful programming interface to gather information about the hardware, bind processes, and much more.

The Score-P (Scalable Performance Measurement Infrastructure for Parallel Codes) measurement infrastructure is a scalable and easy-to-use tool suite for profiling, event trace recording, and online analysis of high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

This package provides Zyn-Fusion user interface for zynaddsubfx.

GNU Mtools is a set of utilities for accessing MS-DOS disks from a GNU or Unix system. It supports long file names and multiple disk formats. It also supports some FAT-specific features such as volume labels and FAT-specific file attributes.

LibTomCrypt is a fairly comprehensive, modular and portable cryptographic toolkit that provides developers with a vast array of well known published block ciphers, one-way hash functions, chaining modes, pseudo-random number generators, public key cryptography and a plethora of other routines.

MPFI is a portable C library for arbitrary-precision interval arithmetic, with intervals represented using MPFR reliable floating-point numbers. It's based on the GMP and GNU MPFR libraries.

The purpose of arbitrary-precision interval arithmetic is to get results that are both guaranteed, thanks to interval computation, and accurate, thanks to multiple-precision arithmetic.

This package supports both a double-double datatype (approx. 32 decimal digits) and a quad-double datatype (approx. 64 decimal digits). The computational library is written in C++. Both C++ and Fortran-90 high-level language interfaces are provided to permit one to convert an existing C++ or Fortran-90 program to use the library with only minor changes to the source code. In most cases only a few type statements and (for Fortran-90 programs) read/write statements need to be changed. PSLQ and numerical quadrature programs are included.

iRRAM is a C++ package for error-free real arithmetic based on the concept of a Real-RAM. Its capabilities range from ordinary arithmetic over trigonometric functions to linear algebra and differential equations. A program using iRRAM is coded in ordinary C++, but may use a special class that behaves like real numbers without any error. Additionally, iRRAM uses the concept of multi-valued functions.

The GMP library performs arbitrary-precision arithmetic on signed integers, rational numbers and floating point numbers. The precision is only limited by the available memory. The library is highly optimized, with a design focus on execution speed. It is aimed at use in, for example, cryptography and computational algebra.

LibTomMath is a portable number theoretic multiple-precision integer library written entirely in C. It's designed to provide an API that is simple to work with that provides fairly efficient routines that build out of the box without configuration.

GNU MPFR is a C library for performing multiple-precision, floating-point computations with correct rounding.

TomsFastMath is a large integer library written in portable ISO C. It is a port of LibTomMath with optional support for inline assembler multiplies.

GNU MPC is a C library for performing arithmetic on complex numbers. It supports arbitrarily high precision and correctly rounds the results.

CLN is a C++ library for efficient computations with all kinds of numbers in arbitrary precision. It provides a rich set of number classes and elementary, logical and transcendental functions.

Hydrogen is an advanced drum machine for GNU/Linux. Its main goal is to enable professional yet simple and intuitive pattern-based drum programming.

Samplebrain chops samples up into a 'brain' of interconnected small sections called blocks which are connected into a network by similarity. It processes a target sample, chopping it up into blocks in the same way, and tries to match each block with one in its brain to play in realtime.

The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all. It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes using the MusicBrainz database. Then it provides a variety of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.

Pragha is a lightweight music player based on Gtk and sqlite. It is constructed to be fast, light, and simultaneously tries to be complete without obstructing your daily work.

This package provides a library to access iPod contents. It enables iPod support in music players such as Clementine.

This package provides the LV2 plugin "GxPushPull", a simulation of a push pull transistor fuzz effect with added high octave.
