In Mageia/cauldron/i586: e4rat ("Ext4 - Reducing Access Times") is a toolset to accelerate the boot process as well as application startups. Through physical file realloction e4rat eliminates both seek times and rotational delays. This leads to a high disk transfer rate. Placing files on disk in a sequentially ordered way allows to efficiently read-ahead files in parallel to the program startup. The combination of sequentially reading and a high cache hit rate may reduce the boot time by a factor of three, as the example below shows. e4rat is based on the online defragmentation ioctl EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT from the Ext4 filesystem, which was introduced in Linux Kernel 2.6.31. Other filesystem types and/or earlier versions of extended filesystems are not supported.

In Mageia/cauldron/i586: Field3D is an open source library for storing voxel data. It provides C++ classes that handle in-memory storage and a file format based on HDF5 that allows the C++ objects to be written to and read from disk.

In Mageia/cauldron/i586: Dyninst is an Application Program Interface (API) to permit the insertion of code into a running program. The API also permits changing or removing subroutine calls from the application program. Run-time code changes are useful to support a variety of applications including debugging, performance monitoring, and to support composing applications out of existing packages. The goal of this API is to provide a machine independent interface to permit the creation of tools and applications that use run-time code patching.

In Mageia/cauldron/x86_64: CryFS provides a FUSE-based mount that encrypts file contents, file sizes, metadata and directory structure. It uses encrypted same-size blocks to store both the files themselves and the blocks' relations to one another. These blocks are stored as individual files in the base directory, which can then be synchronized to remote storage (using an external tool).

In Mageia/cauldron/i586: The Bear engine is a set of C++ libraries and tools dedicated to creating great 2D games. It has been used to create Plee the Bear (plee-the-bear), Andy's Super Great Park (andy-super-great-park) and Tunnel (non packaged). The engine comes with a set of tools, namely the Bear Factory, intended to help creating resources for the game. These tools include a level editor, a character/model editor and an animation editor.

In Mageia/cauldron/x86_64: Colobot is a real-time strategy game. In a way. But it isn't. Unlike most RTS games, Colobot does not require tactics, but it does require thinking. Another difference would be the fact that you do not control the game from a 'god' camera, seeing everything from up top, but you have to control each unit individually. This could potentially cause the problem of not being able to control two units at once, yet this is when another twist comes in: Colobot actually has its own interpretation of robot programming, which is done fully by the player, together with a few hints and tips from the trusty SatCom. But then, you can play the game without programming the robots if you want. This is all up to you!

In Mageia/cauldron/x86_64: ClanBomber is a free (GPL) Bomberman-like multiplayer game that uses ClanLib, a free multi platform C++ game SDK. First "ClanBomber" was only a working title for a small game started in September 1998, that has only been started to learn how to use ClanLib. But the ClanBomber project has grown into a real game. It is fully playable and features Computer controlled bombers, however, it is recommended to play ClanBomber with friends (3-8 players are really fun).

In Mageia/cauldron/i586: Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Labels and equations are typeset with LaTeX, for high-quality PostScript output. A major advantage of Asymptote over other graphics packages is that it is a programming language, as opposed to just a graphics program.
