- [http://xdata-skylark.github.io/libskylark/ *libSkylark*: Sketching-based Matrix Computations for Machine Learning]

- [http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/25241-blendenpik *Blendenpik*] (see also [AvronMaymounkovToledo10-SISC.pdf SISC paper])

- [https://github.com/sparse-condest/condest *CondEst_LSQR*: Spectral Condition-Number Estimation of Large Sparse Matrices]\n
  See also [http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.1107 tech report]. Implemented also in [http://xdata-skylark.github.io/libskylark/ libSkylark]. 

- [http://www.tau.ac.il/~stoledo/taucs/ *TAUCS*] is a library of sparse linear solvers. I wrote the LU and QR factorization.\n
  (See also [http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1326548.1326550 ACM TOMS paper] and [http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/thesis/thesis/avron.pdf Ph.D. thesis]).

- [http://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/view_group.php?id=1426 *WSMP* (Watson Sparse Matrix Package)]. I worked on the out-of-core capabilties.\n
  See also [http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/SC.2012.74 SC'14 paper].

- [http://jp.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/25253-sptrisolve *SpTriSolve*] implements sparse triangular solve as a MEX function,
  thus is much faster than \\.\n
  Useful for iterative methods (to apply a factored preconditioner).

- [http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/25314-cuda-mex *CUDA MEX*] lets you compile CUDA from MATLAB.

- [https://code.google.com/p/digger-me/ *DiggerME*] is a port of the classical Digger game from 1983 for mobile phones.
