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. -

Jmol
An interactive viewer for three-dimensional chemical structures.
Over 1,000,000 page views per month. Jmol/JSmol is a molecular viewer for 3D chemical structures that runs in four independent modes: an HTML5-only web application utilizing jQuery, a Java applet, a stand-alone Java program (Jmol.jar), and a "headless" server-side component (JmolData.jar). Jmol can read many file types, including PDB, CIF, SDF, MOL, PyMOL PSE files, and Spartan files, as well as output from Gaussian, GAMESS, MOPAC, VASP, CRYSTAL, CASTEP, QuantumEspresso, VMD, and many other quantum chemistry programs. Files can be transferred directly from several databases, including RCSB, EDS, NCI, PubChem, and MaterialsProject. Multiple files can be loaded and compared. A rich scripting language and a well-developed web API allow easy customization of the user interface. Features include interactive animation and linear morphing. Jmol interfaces well with JSpecView for spectroscopy, JSME for 2D->3D conversion, POV-Ray for images, and CAD programs for 3D printing (VRML export). -

SwiftShader
SwiftShader is a high-performance CPU-based implementation
SwiftShader is Google’s high-performance CPU-based implementation of the Vulkan 1.3 graphics API, designed to provide a hardware-independent rendering solution for 3D graphics. Unlike traditional GPU drivers, SwiftShader executes graphics commands entirely on the CPU, making it ideal for environments where dedicated graphics hardware is unavailable or unsuitable. It acts as a drop-in replacement for Vulkan drivers, allowing existing applications to run seamlessly by redirecting API calls through its software-based rendering engine. The project supports Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and ChromeOS, offering broad cross-platform compatibility. SwiftShader’s design emphasizes both performance and compliance, enabling robust software rendering for testing, virtualization, and cloud-based graphics workloads.
