ArrayFire is a high performance library for parallel computing with an easy-to-use API. It enables users to write scientific computing code that is portable across CUDA, OpenCL and CPU devices. This project provides Rust bindings for the ArrayFire library. The wrapper is currently compliant with ArrayFire 3.2 API. If you find any bugs, please report them here.
You can find the most recent updated documentation here.
Edit build.conf to modify the build flags. The structure is a simple JSON blob. Currently Rust does not allow key:value pairs to be passed from the CLI. To use an existing ArrayFire installation modify the first three JSON values. You can install ArrayFire using one of the following two ways.
To build arrayfire submodule available in the rust wrapper, you have to do the following.
bash
git submodule update --init --recursive
cargo build
This is recommended way to build Rust wrapper since the submodule points to the most compatible version of ArrayFire the Rust wrapper has been tested with. You can find the ArrayFire dependencies below.
Operating System Support: Currently, only Linux and OSX. With Rust 1.4(MSVC binary), we soon expect to get the Windows support available.
rust
let num_rows: u64 = 5;
let num_cols: u64 = 3;
let dims = Dim4::new(&[num_rows, num_cols, 1, 1]);
println!("Create a 5-by-3 matrix of random floats on the GPU");
let a = match randu(dims, Aftype::F32) {
Ok(value) => value,
Err(error) => panic!("{}", error),
};
print(&a);

You might see something along the lines of :
bash
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libafopencl.3.dylib
You need to add the location of libaf.{dylib, so, dll} to your LDLIBRARYPATH.
This is a work in progress and is not intended for production use.
