Software

Part of CWI’s knowledge transfer is achieved by developing software, and making this available to researchers, industry and society. Some of our open source software tools are aimed to be used by a wide audience; others for scientists or businesses. A selection of our software.

CWI develops software, and makes it available to researchers, industry and society. A number of our software tools is aimed to become the reference software. As an institute, as well as in collaboration with leading consortia, CWI has contributed to new industry standards in multimedia, internet security (NewHope), database management systems (DuckDB) and the development of programming languages. A complete overview can be found in the repository.
