ArrayFire is a high performance software library for parallel computing with an easy-to-use API. Its array based function set makes parallel programming simple.
ArrayFire's multiple backends (CUDA, OpenCL and native CPU) make it platform independent and highly portable.
A few lines of code in ArrayFire can replace dozens of lines of parallel computing code, saving you valuable time and lowering development costs.
