KAROLINA Disclaimer: this post investigates how recent MKL versions behave on Zen CPUs. You should read the MKL license before using MKL. I shall not be held responsible for how you use MKL. Intel MKL has been known to use a SSE code paths on AMD CPUs that support newer SIMD instructions such as those that use the Zen microarchitecture. A (by now) well-known trick has been to set the MKL_DEBUG_CPU_TYPE environment variable to the value 5 to force the use of AVX2 kernels on AMD Zen CPUs. Unfortunately, this variable has been removed from Intel MKL 2020 Update 1 and later. This can be confirmed easily by running a program that uses MKL with ltrace -e getenv.

GTK3 GTK+ is the primary library used to construct user interfaces in GNOME. It provides all the user interface controls, or widgets, used in a common graphical application. Its object-oriented API allows you to construct user interfaces without dealing with the low-level details of drawing and device interaction.
HarfBuzz HarfBuzz is an OpenType text shaping engine.
JasPer The JasPer Project is an open-source initiative to provide a free software-based reference implementation of the codec specified in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard.
jbigkit JBIG-KIT is a software implementation of the JBIG1 data compression standard (ITU-T T.82), which was designed for bi-level image data, such as scanned documents.
libGLU The OpenGL Utility Library (GLU) is a computer graphics library for OpenGL.
LittleCMS Little CMS intends to be an OPEN SOURCE small-footprint color management engine, with special focus on accuracy and performance.
matplotlib matplotlib is a python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms. matplotlib can be used in python scripts, the python and ipython shell, web application servers, and six graphical user interface toolkits.
Mesa Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.
OVITO Description not available.
Pango Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done in the context of the GTK+ widget toolkit.
