Products
The company's first offering, Jacket, introduced in June 2008, is a library designed to augment MATLAB with GPGPU functionality specifically for CUDA-compatible Nvidia GPUs.
Building on Jacket's foundation, ArrayFire created a comparable GPGPU library that supports C, C++, and Fortran. This ArrayFire library receives partial funding from DARPA, which incorporates it into its "Memex" software aimed at dark web exploration.
Starting with version 3.4, the ArrayFire library became Open Source, significantly improving its availability to both developers and corporate users.
