About
OpenFAST is an open source wind turbine simulation tool developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It builds upon the FAST v8 code, integrating aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, control systems, and structural dynamics to enable comprehensive, coupled nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic time-domain simulations of wind turbines. OpenFAST supports various configurations, including land-based, fixed-bottom offshore, and floating offshore turbines. The platform aims to foster an open source developer community across research laboratories, industry, and academia, providing a robust software engineering framework with well-documented source code, automated testing, and a multi-platform build system. Key organizational changes from FAST v8.16 to OpenFAST include the establishment of a new GitHub repository consolidating glue codes, modules, and compiling tools; updated version numbering; and the introduction of unit testing at the subroutine level.

About
RunMat (by Dystr) is a fast, free, open-source alternative for running MATLAB code.
Users can run their existing .m files with complete MATLAB language grammar and core semantics. No license fees, no lock-in. 300+ built-in functions supported.
RunMat is built with a modern Rust runtime featuring a tiered execution model: an interpreter (Ignition) for instant 5ms startup and a JIT compiler (Turbine/Cranelift) for hot paths. GPU acceleration is automatic via a fusion engine that detects elementwise operation chains and dispatches them as optimized GPU kernels across NVIDIA, AMD, Apple Silicon, and Intel GPUs through Metal, DirectX 12, Vulkan, and WebGPU. Up to 131x faster than NumPy and 7x faster than PyTorch on dense numerical workloads.
Runs everywhere: CLI, NPM package, Homebrew, Jupyter kernel, or instantly in the browser via WebAssembly + WebGPU. Single portable binary. MIT licensed.
