Yes, you read that right! ArrayFire is open source—it’s all there and it’s all free. This is big, and you and the rest of the parallel computing community are going to love it!
You can download our pre-compiled binary installers which are optimized for a wide variety of systems or you can get a copy of the ArrayFire source code from our GitHub page. ArrayFire is being released under the BSD 3-Clause License, which will enable unencumbered deployment and portability of ArrayFire for commercial use.

Waw, I have to say I’m impressed! I tried using ArrayFire recently and loved it, and was actually thinking that the fact that it’s not o/s is something of an obstacle in adopting it for some of my new projects.
Well, my hat is off to you guys, I hope you will have tons of good contributions and good business as a result of this! Really! What a nice Christmas present to the community! Thanks and God bless!
P.S. Not to be mean, but thank you for going for a BSD-style license and not the GPL.
We look forward to your speed up stories! Feel free to ask for features!
