The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) is a freely available, open-source object-oriented framework that implements many core patterns for concurrent communication software. ACE provides a rich set of reusable C++ wrapper facades (pdf document) and framework components that perform common communication software tasks across a range of OS platforms. The communication software tasks provided by ACE include:
ACE is targeted for developers of high-performance and real-time communication services and applications. It simplifies the development of OO network applications and services that utilize interprocess communication, event demultiplexing, explicit dynamic linking, and concurrency. In addition, ACE automates system configuration and reconfiguration by dynamically linking services into applications at run-time and executing these services in one or more processes or threads.
ACE continues to improve and its future is bright. ACE is supported commercially by multiple companies using an open-source business model. In addition, many members of the ACE development team are currently working on building The ACE ORB (TAO).

…Eclipse is an open source community, whose projects are focused on building an extensible development platform, runtimes and application frameworks for building, deploying and managing software across the entire software lifecycle. Not just a Java IDE but Eclipse is much more than a Java IDE. The Eclipse open source community has over 60 open source projects. These projects can be conceptually organized into seven different categories:
- Enterprise Development.
- Embedded and Device Development.
- Rich Client Platform.
- Rich Internet Applications.
- Application Frameworks.
- Application Lifecycle Management (ALM).
- Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
The Eclipse community is also supported by a large and vibrant ecosystem of major IT solution providers, innovative start-ups, universities and research institutions and individuals that extend support and complement the Eclipse Platform.

DataReel Open Source - A cross-platform database and communications toolkit. Datareel is a comprehensive cross-platform C++ development kit used to build multi-threaded database and communication applications. C++ is a programming language that produces fast executing compiled programs and offers very powerful programming capabilities. Unlike interpreted languages such as JAVA and PERL the C++ language by itself does not contain built-in programming interfaces for database, communications, and multi-threaded programming. By using DataReel you can extend the power of the C++ programming language by using high-level programming interfaces for database, communications, and multi-threaded programming…

GD library is an open source code C library for the dynamic creation of images by programmers. GD is written in C, and “wrappers” are available for Perl, PHP and other languages. GD creates PNG, JPEG and GIF images, among other formats. GD is commonly used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the fly. While not restricted to use on the web, the most common applications of GD involve web site development.

Crypto++ Library is a free C++ class library of cryptographic schemes. One purpose of Crypto++ is to act as a repository of public domain (not copyrighted) source code. Although the library is copyrighted as a compilation, the individual files in it (except for a few exceptions listed in the license) are in the public domain. Currently the library consists of the dozen to do’s, some of which are other people’s code, repackaged into classes.

Another open source small directory. Browse some of the products that already used extensively in your computer system and the internet domain.
- Operating Systems: Linux and its variants, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD.
- Internet Applications: Apache – web server, BIND – Domain Name System, Sendmail – Email system, MTA, Mozilla – Internet browser and OpenSSL for secure communication over the internet.
- Programming Tools: Perl, Zope, and PHP, are popular engines used in the dynamic web content on the World Wide Web. Powerful High Level Languages such as Python, Ruby, and Tcl/Tk owe much of their success and prevalence to the active community of developers that use them and continue their development and the GNU compilers and tools (GCC, Make, Autoconf, and Automake, and others) and you will find that almost all open source projects use them as their primary development tools.

…Claimed to be most widely used graphics standard. It is an environment for developing portable, interactive 2D and 3D graphics applications. OpenGL has become the industry’s most widely used and supported 2D and 3D graphics application programming interface (API), bringing thousands of applications to a wide variety of computer platforms. OpenGL fosters innovation and speeds application development by incorporating a broad set of rendering, texture mapping, special effects, and other powerful visualization functions. Developers can leverage the power of OpenGL across all popular desktop and workstation platforms, ensuring wide application deployment…
…The OpenGL API (Application Programming Interface) began as an initiative by SGI to create a single, vendor-independent API for the development of 2D and 3D graphics applications. Prior to the introduction of OpenGL, many hardware vendors had different graphics libraries. This situation made it expensive for software developers to support versions of their applications on multiple hardware platforms, and it made porting of applications from one hardware platform to another very time-consuming and difficult. SGI saw the lack of a standard graphics API as an inhibitor to the growth of the 3D marketplace and decided to lead an industry group in creating such a standard…
…Leading software developers use OpenGL, with its robust rendering libraries, as the 2D/3D graphics foundation for higher-level APIs. Developers leverage the capabilities of OpenGL to deliver highly differentiated, yet widely supported vertical market solutions. For example, Open Inventor provides a cross-platform user interface and flexible scene graph that makes it easy to create OpenGL applications. IRIS Performer leverages OpenGL functionality and delivers additional features tailored for the demanding high frame rate markets such as visual simulation and virtual sets. OpenGL Optimizer is a toolkit for real-time interaction, modification, and rendering of complex surface-based models such as those found in CAD/CAM and special effects creation. OpenGL Volumizer is a high-level immediate mode volume rendering API for the energy, medical and sciences markets. OpenGL Shader provides a common interface to support realistic visual effects, bump mapping, multiple textures, environment maps, volume shading and an unlimited array of new effects using hardware acceleration on standard OpenGL graphics cards…
… OpenGL is the pervasive standard for 3D consumer and professional applications across all major OS platforms. A partial list for Window, Linux and MacOS are available in the products section…
