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.

GLib GLib is one of the base libraries of the GTK+ project
gnuplot Portable interactive, function plotting utility
GraphicsMagick GraphicsMagick is the swiss army knife of image processing.
GST-plugins-base GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. The applications it supports range from simple Ogg/Vorbis playback, audio/video streaming to complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.

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.
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. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.x.
ParaView ParaView is a scientific parallel visualizer.
Pillow Pillow is the 'friendly PIL fork' by Alex Clark and Contributors. PIL is the Python Imaging Library by Fredrik Lundh and Contributors.
pixman Pixman is a low-level software library for pixel manipulation, providing features such as image compositing and trapezoid rasterization. Important users of pixman are the cairo graphics library and the X server.
plotly.py An open-source, interactive graphing library for Python
tensorboardX Tensorboard for PyTorch.
Tk Tk is an open source, cross-platform widget toolchain that provides a library of basic elements for building a graphical user interface (GUI) in many different programming languages.
TurboVNC TurboVNC is a derivative of VNC (Virtual Network Computing) that is tuned to provide peak performance for 3D and video workloads.
VESTA VESTA is a 3D visualization program for structured models, volumetric data such as electron/nuclear densities, and crystal morphologies.
VirtualGL VirtualGL is an open source toolkit that gives any Linux or Unix remote display software the ability to run OpenGL applications with full hardware acceleration.
VTK The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open-source, freely available software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing and visualization. VTK consists of a C++ class library and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. VTK supports a wide variety of visualization algorithms including: scalar, vector, tensor, texture, and volumetric methods; and advanced modeling techniques such as: implicit modeling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing, cutting, contouring, and Delaunay triangulation.
Wayland Wayland is a project to define a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a library implementation of the protocol. The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.
wxWidgets wxWidgets is a C++ library that lets developers create applications for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other platforms with a single code base. It has popular language bindings for Python, Perl, Ruby and many other languages, and unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets gives applications a truly native look and feel because it uses the platform's native API rather than emulating the GUI.
X11 The X Window System (X11) is a windowing system for bitmap displays
x264 x264 is a free software library and application for encoding video streams into the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compression format, and is released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
x265 x265 is a free software library and application for encoding video streams into the H.265 AVC compression format, and is released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
xprop The xprop utility is for displaying window and font properties in an X server. One window or font is selected using the command line arguments or possibly in the case of a window, by clicking on the desired window. A list of properties is then given, possibly with formatting information.
Xvfb Xvfb is an X server that can run on machines with no display hardware and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual memory.
