Open Source Initiatives from ArrayFire
At ArrayFire we like to use a lot of Free/Open Source software. We use various Linux distributions, Jenkins, Gitlab, gcc, emacs, vim and numerous other FOSS tools on a daily basis. We also love the idea of developing software collaboratively and openly. Last year we started working with AMD on CL Math Libraries. Internally we’ve had numerous discussions about contributing to the GPGPU community. However, it’s neither simple nor straightforward to take a closed software Open Source. Earlier this year, we decided to take the first step and Open Source all of the ArrayFire library’s tertiary projects. This includes all of our ArrayFire library’s language wrappers, examples, and source code used for our blog posts. All of our projects are hosted at our …

clMath: An Open Source BLAS and FFT Library for OpenCL
If you’re reading our blog, BLAS and FFT libraries likely form an important basis for your work. For instance, BLAS and FFT libraries are used in some of ArrayFire’s higher-level functions for linear algebra, signal processing, and image processing. Today, OpenCL is getting a significant boost in BLAS and FFT library availability. AMD has announced a bold and generous move to contribute to the OpenCL community by open-sourcing its APPML BLAS and FFT OpenCL libraries. At AccelerEyes, we have previously used AMD’s OpenCL libraries within our higher-level ArrayFire library. These libraries are the best BLAS and FFT OpenCL libraries available anywhere. We are thrilled to join AMD and the open-source community in maintaining and improving these libraries for the benefit of all. …
