It's better for performance to use a single thread pool for all areas of Blender, and this gets us closer to that. Bullet, Quadriflow, Mantaflow and Ceres still contain OpenMP code, but it was already disabled. On macOS, our OpenMP libraries are no longer compatible with the latest Xcode 16.3. By removing OpenMP we no longer have to solve that problem. OpenMP was disabled for bpy module builds on Windows ARM64, which also no longer needs to be solved.

Mantaflow
Mantaflow is an open-source framework targeted at fluid simulation research in Computer Graphics. Its parallelized C++ solver core, python scene definition interface and plugin system allow for quickly prototyping and testing new algorithms.
In addition, it provides a toolbox of examples for deep learning experiments with fluids. E.g., it contains examples how to build convolutional neural network setups in conjunction with the tensorflow framework.
