MuJoCo, developed and maintained by Google DeepMind, is a high-performance physics engine designed for simulating complex, articulated systems that interact through contact. It is widely used in research fields such as robotics, biomechanics, computer graphics, animation, and machine learning, where fast and accurate physics simulations are essential. The engine provides a robust C API optimized for real-time computation, making it suitable for scientific research and advanced simulation environments. MuJoCo’s core architecture is performance-tuned and utilizes preallocated data structures created through an XML-based compiler. The platform includes built-in interactive visualization using OpenGL and a native graphical interface for analyzing and testing simulations. Additionally, it offers extensive utility functions for physics computation, Python bindings for developers, and a Unity plug-in to enable integration with game engines and visualization tools.

MCX is a GPU-accelerated, general-purpose, physically-accurate and feature-rich 3-D light transport simulator. It is one of the fastest simulators because it can use tens of thousands of GPU threads to simulate photons in parallel.

The Red Pitaya is a commercial, affordable FPGA board with fast analog inputs and outputs. This makes it useful for quantum optics experiments, in particular as a digital feedback controller for analog systems. Based on the open source software provided by the board manufacturer, PyRPL (Python RedPitaya Lockbox) implements many devices that are needed for optics experiments with the Red Pitaya. PyRPL implements various digital signal processing (DSP) modules (see features below). It allows to arbitrarily interconnect the available DSP modules and retrieve signal values on timescales below 1 ms. The graphical user interface (GUI) provides a realtime display of the various measurement instruments and allows the easy configuration of DSP signal chains and feedback controllers. At the highest abstraction level, arbitrary feedback sequences can be defined to fulfill tasks as complex as approaching and locking a resonance of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity (tested up to finesse=100,000).

Wcalc is a powerful arbitrary-precision calculator. It has standard functions (sin, asinh, logtwo, floor, etc), many pre-defined constants (pi, e, c, etc.), variables, "active" variables, command history, and hex/octal/binary i/o, conversions, and more

GridLAB-D is a new power system simulation tool that provides valuable information to users who design and operate electric power transmission and distribution systems, and to utilities that wish to take advantage of the latest smart grid technology. It incorporates advanced modeling techniques with high-performance algorithms to deliver the latest in end-use load modeling technology integrated with three-phase unbalanced power flow, and retail market systems. Historically, the inability to effectively model and evaluate smart grid technologies has been a barrier to adoption; GridLAB-D is designed to address this problem. User documentation can be found at: http://gridlab-d.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Quick_links The source code is available from GitHub. See https://github.com/gridlab-d/gridlab-d. Issue tracking is handled by GitHub. See https://github.com/gridlab-d/gridlab-d/issues.
