~addons/math/arrayfire is a new addon for J903 and later. The addon allows high performance computing of matrix product and many other mathematical array operations. Multiple cpu cores and hardware such as Nvidia gpus are used as appropriate.
Browse https://arrayfire.org for more info. The addon will prompt you for the ArrayFire software install if it is not already installed. Use pacman to install the addon. For example, load'pacman' 'install' jpkg 'math/arrayfire' Get started: load '~addons/math/arrayfire/arrayfire.ijs' man_jaf_ 'intro' ... init_jaf_ 'cpu' tut_jaf_ 'basic' NB. run basic tutorial ... man_jaf_ 'credits' NB. credit to some J-ArrayFire pioneers ... *** preliminary version We think this is an important step for J in high performance computing. If this proves to be the case, Jsoftware will actively pursue further development in this area. *** from the addon description cd bindings and utilities for ArrayFire shared library https://arrayfire.org "ArrayFire is a high performance software library for parallel computing with an easy-to-use API. Its array based function set makes parallel programming more accessible." J-ArrayFire cd bindings make it easy to have high performance computing for things like matrix multiply with cpu cores, Nvidia gpus, and opencl. *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
