3Delight is a very fast RenderMan-compliant renderer designed to produce photorealistic images for serious production environments. Some of its features include ray tracing, global illumination, motion blur, depth of field, subdivision surfaces, programmable shaders, quality antialiasing, and antialiased multi-depth shadow maps. The API and the shading language are very similar to what is described in the RenderMan interface documentation.
The Akaroa research project is aimed at improving the credibility of results from quantitative stochastic simulation using automated sequential analysis, and speeding up such simulations using Multiple Replications In Parallel (MRIP) to harness the computing power of a network of inexpensive workstations.
AODV-UU (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing, from Uppsala University) is a routing protocol under investigation by the IETF for use in ad-hoc networks, where both end-users and routers are mobile. This implementation supports IPv6 and multicasting (with the appropriate patch) and is compliant with RFC 3561.
astroPluto is modular Godunov-type code intended mainly for astrophysical applications and high Mach number flows in multiple spatial dimensions. The code embeds different hydrodynamic modules and multiple algorithms to solve the equations describing Newtonian, relativistic, MHD, or relativistic MHD fluids in Cartesian or curvilinear coordinates.
The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is an ongoing research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques in order to provide portable performance. It provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK.
This page currently points to a German project to reimplement Aspect C/C++. The Aspect C compiler originally pointed to no longer exists and the website was removed by the University of Toronto.
@djzort: Again, I'll second all your points as those are some excellent ideas. There needs to be something to handle freak circumstances, though. Fortunately rare, I've encountered some biz...
@solardiz: As an active FM/FC enthusiast, I *ahem* update other people's records from time to time, as some maintainers are exceptionally bad at this. They "create and forget". (...An...
The rationale makes sense, but there's always a danger in rebranding and the majority of users of the site are going to be so used* to the F/L/OSS nomenclature debate that the *ahem* alternativ...
Hadn't noticed the revival of this, but it's excellent pimd is back. Have you looked at pimdd (a dense mode version of pimd)? It was a fork from pimd, which I never could quite understand a...
