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.
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.
BACnet is an implementation of the BACnet (Building Automation and Control Networks) protocol specifically tailored for embedded systems. BACnet itself is a standard routable protocol designed to handle communications in automation in buildings, such as air conditioning systems and other HVAC equipment.
The lack of branches This does sadden me, as branches are something I use a lot. Mind you, I also use dependencies a lot, so I'm clearly weird. Although branches, as implemented, were a little more...
This should be interesting. The old/current site has, in general, been excellent. Many kudos to the developers. (Sometimes the non-visible release submissions section has freaked out in the past, b...
Nice software, not sure about description. The software looks like a good collaboration tool, but any chance you could replace the description with something that looks more like what the program d...

A lot of these don't RERO as much as I'd like Selenium's official release has quite a lot of dust, these days, but the repository copy fixes a lot of problems in the current release and provides so...
