ArrayFire.jl

This is a Julia bindings for ArrayFire. ArrayFire is a high performance library for parallel computing with an easy-to-use API. It enables users to write scientific computing code that is portable across CPU, CUDA and OpenCL devices. This project provides Julia bindings for the ArrayFire library.

Currently, C interface on ArrayFire is used. When Cxx.jl becomes mature, C++ interface will be used instead.

Requirements

Most of the functions are tested on Windows, but it should be run on Linux and OSX. You also need to have the ArrayFire C/C++ library installed on your machine. You can get it from the following sources.

• Download and install binaries
• Build and install from source

Install

julia> Pkg.clone("https://github.com/hshindo/ArrayFire.jl.git")

Ensure the ArrayFire.jl can find the arrayfire library (af.dll on Windows or libaf.so on Linux and OSX).

Example

AFArray is a simple wrapper of array class on the original ArrayFire. Function names may be changed to be consistent with Array in Julia.

using ArrayFire

# Display backend information
AF.available_backends()

# Generate a uniform random array with a size of 5 elements
a = AF.rand(Float32, 5, 1)
b = AF.rand(Float32, 5, 1)

# Print sum values of a and b
c = a + b
println(c)
