ArrayFire is a general-purpose library that simplifies the process of developing software that targets parallel and massively-parallel architectures including CPUs, GPUs, and other hardware acceleration devices.
Several of ArrayFire's benefits include:
ArrayFire provides software developers with a high-level abstraction of data which resides on the accelerator, the af::array object. Developers write code which performs operations on ArrayFire arrays which, in turn, are automatically translated into near-optimal kernels that execute on the computational device.
ArrayFire is successfully used on devices ranging from low-power mobile phones to high-power GPU-enabled supercomputers. ArrayFire runs on CPUs from all major vendors (Intel, AMD, ARM), GPUs from the prominent manufacturers (NVIDIA, AMD, and Qualcomm), as well as a variety of other accelerator devices on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
You can install the ArrayFire library from one of the following ways:
Execute one of our official binary installers for Linux, OSX, and Windows platforms.
Build from source by following instructions on our wiki.
The following examples are simplified versions of helloworld.cpp and conway_pretty.cpp, respectively. For more code examples, visit the examples/ directory.
Visit the Wikipedia page for a description of Conway's Game of Life.
You can find our complete documentation here.
