Atlc 'atlc' (Arbitrary Transmission Line Calculator) is a computer aided design (CAD) package for designing and analysing electrical transmission lines and directional couplers of totally arbitrary cross section, with an arbitrary number of different dielectrics. The analysis programs in 'atlc' lets users find the electrical properties of a transmission line or coupler whose physical dimensions are known. The design programs lets users physically realise a transmission line or coupler with certain given electrical properties. The package supports multiple CPUs, as some parts are CPU intensive. It is most likely to be useful to radio amateurs.

Botec BOTEC is a simple astrophysical and orbital mechanics calculator, including a database of all named Solar System objects. BOTEC is intended as a simple but useful calculator to assist with making astrophysical, orbital mechanics, and space navigation calculations. As the origin of the acronym applies, BOTEC is more of a "back-of-the-envelope calculator" rather than an industrial-strength calculator, although this may change in the future.

CLHep 'CLHelp' is a set of HEP (High Energy Physics)-specific foundation and utility classes such as random generators, physics vectors, geometry, and linear algebra.

Dimnum The dimnum library contains templated C++ classes for storage and manipulation of dimensionful numbers, as encountered in physics and engineering. Since it uses templates, there is no size or speed penalty with respect to normal variables (depending on compiler optimisations).

EPICS 'EPICS' is a software infrastructure for building distributed control systems to operate devices such as particle accelerators, large experiments and major telescopes. These systems comprise tens or hundreds of computers, networked together so they can communicate and provide control and feedback of the various parts from a control room, or remotely over the Internet. EPICS uses Client/Server and Publish/Subscribe techniques to communicate between the various computers. Most servers (called Input/Output Controllers or IOCs) perform real-world I/O and local control tasks, and publish this information to clients using the Channel Access (CA) network protocol. CA is specially designed for the kind of high bandwidth, soft real-time networking applications that EPICS is used for, and is one reason why it can be used to build a control system comprising hundreds of computers.

Elmer Elmer includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics and heat transfer. These are described by partial differential equations which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM). Elmer comprises of several different parts: The geometry, boundary conditions and physical models are defined in ElmerFront. The resulting problem definition is solved by ElmerSolver. Finally the results are visualized by ElmerPost. Additionally a utility ElmerGrid may be used for simple mesh manipulation. The different parts of Elmer software may also be used independently. The strongest of the components is ElmerSolver which includes many sophisticated features. For pre- and postprosessing the users may find also other alternatives. The software runs on unix and windows platforms and can be compiled on a large variety of compilers. The solver can also be used in parallel mode on platforms that support MPI.<\p>

FroZenLight FroZenLight connects simple line art and mathematics. The source of light can be positioned so that either symmetric reflection patterns or secret messages (Cryptography) are created. Dozens of example light patterns and some math exercises are provided.

GAMGI GAMGI (General Atomistic Modelling Graphic Interface) is a program to build, view, and analyze atomic strucures such as molecules, crystals, glasses, liquids, etc. It aims to be useful for: the scientific community working in Atomistic Modelling that needs a graphic interface to build input data and to view and analyse output data, calculated with Ab-Initio and Molecular Mechanics programs; the scientific community at large studying chemistry, physics, materials science, geology, etc., that needs a graphic interface to view and analyse atomic structural information and to prepare images for presentations in classes and seminars; teaching chemistry and physics in secondary schools and universities; science promotion in schools, exhibitions and science museums.

GDIS "GDIS' is a GTK/OpenGL based program for displaying isolated molecules, periodic systems, and crystalline habits. It also acts as a GUI to packages such as GAMESS, GULP, and POVRay to provide energy minimizations and publication quality rendering.

GPS Gravitational Particle Simulator uses numerical methods to simulate the behaviour of particles that obey the gravitational laws of motion. The numerical method used to approximate the differential equations is a 4th order Runge Kutta method. Home page is in Italian only, but the README and the comments in the code are in English.

Gnome Flow Gnome Flow calculates and visualizes simple steady-state fluid flows. It uses the relaxation method, and can calculate flows past symmetric objects. Steady-state means it calculates the flow at a given time and that the physical parameters are constant in time.

Goptical Heckert gnu.small.png Goptical is a C++ optical design and simulation library. It provides model classes for optical components, surfaces and materials. It enables building optical systems by creating and placing various optical components in a 3d space and simulates light propagation through the system. Classical optical design analysis tools can be used on optical systems.

Gpiv 'Gpiv' is a graphic user interface for analyzing images obtained from a fluid flow that has been seeded with tracer particles by the so-called Particle Image Velocimetry technique (PIV). It is meant to have a quick overview of the parameters of all piv processes, easily changing them, running the processes and visualizing their results interactively.

Gpivtools Gpiv-tools is a package that contains command-line driven programs for the so-called (Digital) Particle Image Velocimetry technique (PIV). The programs perform image evaluation, resulting into a velocity field of the flow, validation programs and post-processing programs to manipulate the data or to extract information from the data (statistics, derivatives). There are some additional programs and scripts for data and image format conversions, chain-processing, batch-processing and for generating graphical output. Though the command-line driven tools are mainly intended for non-graphic processing, its outputs may be visualized in a graphical way by displaying with the aid of gnuplot.

Libgpiv 'LIBGPIV' is a library for the (Digital) Particle Image Velocimetry technique (PIV), an image analyzing technology that obtains a velocity field from a fluid flow (gas or liquid) that has been seeded with small tracer particles or smoke. 'LIBGPIV' contains the core functions for image evaluation (resulting into estimators of particle image displacements, i.e. PIV data), validation (on peak-locking effects, erroneous vectors or outliers), post-processing, input/output functions, utility functions like memory allocation etc. The project is designed for maximum flexibility for extending and adapting the code for different applications.

Libquantum 'libquantum' is a simulation of a quantum computer. It provides an interface for a quantum register and for all important quantum operations. An efficient model for decoherence allows an analysis of quantum computation in a realistic environment. Features include the simulation of arbitrary algorithms, high performance and low memory consumption and interfaces for quantum error correction (QEC) and the density operator formalism. The package includes implementations of Shor's factoring algorithm and Grover's search algorithm.

Light Speed! Light Speed! is an OpenGL-based program which illustrates the effects of special relativity on the appearance of moving objects. When an object accelerates past a few million meters per second, these effects begin to grow noticeable, becoming more and more pronounced as the speed of light is approached. These relativistic effects are viewpoint-dependent, and include shifts in length, object hue, brightness and shape. The moving object is, by default, a geometric lattice. 3D Studio and LightWave 3D objects may be imported as well. Best of all, the simulator is completely interactive, rendering the exotic distortions in real-time!
