     83=== KARMA ===
     84
     85[http://www.atnf.csiro.au/computing/software/karma/ KARMA] is a toolkit for interprocess communications, authentication, encryption, graphics display, user interface and manipulating the Karma network data structure. It contains KarmaLib (the structured libraries and API) and a large number of modules (applications) to perform many standard tasks. A suite of visualisation tools are distributed with the library.
     86
     87=== FFTW ===
     88[http://www.fftw.org/ FFTW] is a C subroutine library for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions, of arbitrary input size, and of both real and complex data (as well as of even/odd data, i.e. the discrete cosine/sine transforms or DCT/DST).
     89The FFTW package was developed at MIT by Matteo Frigo and Steven G. Johnson.
     90Our workstation have version 3 installed.
     91
     92 
     93=== TEMPO ===
     94[http://pulsar.princeton.edu/tempo/ Tempo] is a program for the analysis of pulsar timing data. Pulsar rotation, astrometric, and binary parameters are deduced by fitting models to pulse times of arrival measured at one or more terrestrial observatories.
     95Tempo is maintained and distributed by Princeton University and the Australia Telescope National Facility. The code is freely available, and others are encouraged to extend, modify, and improve it as they see fit. 
     96
     97=== SCILAB ===
     98[http://www.scilab.org/ Scilab] is a scientific software package for numerical computations
     99providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications.
     100Scilab includes hundreds of mathematical functions with the possibility to add interactively
     101programs from various languages (C, Fortran...). It has sophisticated data structures
     102(including lists, polynomials, rational functions, linear systems...), an
     103interpreter and a high level programming language.
