ArrayFire is an American software company that develops programming tools for parallel computing and graphics on graphics processing unit (GPU) chipsets. Its products are particularly popular in the defense industry. [1]
The company's first major product was Jacket, [2] a library that extends MATLAB with GPGPU capabilities on CUDA-enabled Nvidia GPUs, released in June 2008 (version 1.0 in January 2009 [1] ).
Jacket was followed by ArrayFire, a similar GPGPU extension for C, C++ and Fortran. [3]
ArrayFire is partially funded by DARPA, who uses it in its "Memex" dark web search software. [4]
Since version 3.4 the library is Open Source. [5]
