Ncurses	ncurses (new curses) is a programming library providing an application programming interface (API) that allows the programmer to write text-based user interfaces in a terminal-independent manner.
Netloc	Netloc software package provides network topology discovery tools, and an abstract representation of those networks topologies for a range of network types and configurations.
NgSpice	Ngspice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator. Its code is based on three open source software packages: Spice3f5, Cider1b1 and Xspice.
Nwchem	NWChem provides computational chemistry tools and particularly large scientific computational chemistry problems.
Obitools	The OBITools package is a set of programs specifically designed for analysing NGS data in a DNA meta-barcoding context, taking into account taxonomic information.
Openfoam	OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to acoustics, solid mechanics and electromagnetics.
