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.

The goal of the project is now to develop a user library called libpfm4 to help setup performance events for use with the perf_events Linux kernel interface. The development of the perfmon kernel subsystem, libpfm and pfmon has now stopped.

NASM (Netwide Assembler) is a widely used, open-source assembler for the x86 architecture that provides a flexible and portable way to write low-level machine code using an Intel-style syntax. It is designed to support a wide variety of output formats, making it suitable for different operating systems and development environments. NASM is known for its simplicity and clarity, allowing developers to write assembly code that is both readable and efficient. It is commonly used in system programming, operating system development, and performance-critical applications where direct hardware control is required. The assembler is highly portable and can be used across multiple platforms, making it a standard tool in many low-level programming workflows. Its maturity and widespread adoption have made it a reliable choice for developers working close to the hardware. Overall, nasm serves as a foundational tool for understanding and implementing low-level software systems.

Check yafu on github for the latest code. YAFU (with assistance from other free software) uses the most powerful modern algorithms (and implementations of them) to factor input integers in a completely automated way. The automation within YAFU is state-of-the-art, combining factorization algorithms in an intelligent and adaptive methodology that minimizes the time to find the factors of arbitrary input integers. Most algorithm implementations are multi-threaded, allowing YAFU to fully utilize multi- or many-core processors (including SNFS, GNFS, SIQS, and ECM). YAFU is primarily a command-line driven tool. You provide the number to factor and, via screen output and log files, YAFU will provide you the factors. There is also an interactive environment similar to MATLAB or PARI/GP, where you can type commands and store results. YAFU is very customizable, through the optional use of many many command line parameters and a very capable expression inter

⚠️ Please note: The official distribution of the PICSimLab simulator binaries is available on github.com and SourceForge.net. Be cautious of unofficial sites, such as picsimlab.com, which do not disclose the owner. PICSimLab is a realtime emulator of development boards with MPLABX/avr-gdb debugger integration. PICSimLab supports microcontrollers from picsim, simavr, uCsim, qemu-stm32, qemu-esp32, and gpsim. Using the PICSimLab Code Project Wizard, you can quickly create pre-configured code templates for both writing and debugging a wide range of boards. For boards based on the PIC16F and PIC18F microcontrollers, the wizard generates projects that utilize MPLAB X. For boards based on AVR, STM32, and ESP32, the wizard generates projects that utilize VSCode+PlatformIO. PICSimLab supports several devices (spare parts) that can be connected to the boards for simulation. Such as example LEDs and push buttons for simple outputs and inputs and some more complex ones like the ethernet shield.

Apollo-11 hosts the original Apollo 11 Guidance Computer (AGC) source code for the Command Module and Lunar Module, faithfully transcribed from historical listings. It is written in AGC assembly and reflects 1960s software engineering practices, complete with comments from the original programmers. The code is both a cultural artifact and a technical reference, illustrating how limited memory and processor constraints shaped algorithms and system design. Developers can examine navigation routines, guidance logic, and task scheduling in an environment with no luxury features—everything is explicit and resource-aware. The repository’s structure and documentation make it approachable for modern readers despite the archaic environment. It’s frequently used in education, talks, and explorations of software history to show how a landmark mission depended on disciplined code and verification.

gVisor is an application kernel developed by Google that provides a strong layer of isolation between applications and the host operating system. Written in Go, it implements a Linux-compatible system call interface that runs entirely in user space, creating a secure sandboxed environment for containers. Unlike traditional virtual machines or lightweight syscall filters, gVisor follows a third approach that offers many of the security benefits of virtualization while maintaining the speed, resource efficiency, and flexibility of containers. Its key runtime, runsc, integrates seamlessly with container ecosystems such as Docker and Kubernetes, making it easy to deploy sandboxed workloads using familiar tools. By intercepting and safely handling syscalls from applications, gVisor reduces the attack surface of the host kernel, mitigating risks associated with running untrusted or potentially malicious code in containerized environments.
