Hmm. I still see it on their website: https://www.freebsd.org/art.html Or am I missing something else ?

I don't see a reason to search twice if I already know a key word I am searching for. If Google returns a "popular" result, I usually add a second keyword to specifying the domain which usually returns the correct result.

Has the development moved away from github[1] or has it completely stalled ? The last commit I see is from 8 months ago. [1] https://github.com/orangeduck/libCello/

You are right. He was really careful in picking double instead of int for this example.

by pavanky 12y ago
The C greater function is unnecessarily long int greater(const void* p, const void* q) { return *(double *)p - *(double *)q; } would work just as well. EDIT: DON'T USE THIS, WONT ALWAYS WORK

You didn't add a link for that [1].

We depend on those libraries. We make the API easier to understand while keeping the performance close to the upstream libraries.

Ah in that case ArrayFire can certainly help!

I am not sure how much ArrayFire can help with hashing. I need to read more to understand it better.

You are technically right, but in my experience a few companies either do not understand this or do not want to risk it for legal reasons. BSD 3-clause on the other hand is very easy to understand and is permissive off the bat.

We build our library on top of CUDA! (among other things) I would not say we compete with CUDA, more like complement them!

by pavanky 12y ago
Ha! We interviewed the author of that library!

> As a side note, it seems odd to me that "native CPU" is a target distinct from OpenCL, which already runs on both CPUs and GPUs. We are planning to move towards a single library that dynamically loads the appropriate backend

We are actually very interested in graph algorithms and analytics and recently started to work on these. The first analytic that we tackled was triangle counting for social networks. We wrote some blogs on this: - http://arrayfire

I can not answer the other questions, so I'll let John handle that part. I can answer this: > If you're earning all the money with consulting and support, how do you allocate ressources to the further development of the library

You can look at our headers to find the C api alongside the C++ API. Here is the image.h header file for example: https://github.com/arrayfire/arrayfire/blob/devel/include/af... extern "C"

I am not too familiar with Theano, but from what I can tell it is more focused towards Deep Learning. So I will refrain from comparing and will give you a short list about ArrayFire. - Supports multiple backends, so you can run on NVIDIA GP

The current CPU implementation is single core, non-vectorized code. That said, ArrayFire can link with any BLAS / LAPACK library to accelerate the relevant algorithms. EDIT: The CUDA and OpenCL backends will obviously be faster than

ArrayFire implements many algorithms that Fortran has (such as statistics, reductions etc), but it also has many image processing functions. We are working on pushing Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Graph related algorithms in the nex

Hello everyone! I am one of the developers. I am more than happy to answer any questions.

Chandrayaan contained payloads from NASA and ESA already. PSLV has sucessfully launched satellites from various countries. It has already begun.

Guys slightly off topic, but please do keep the colorblind people in mind. The colors used for the graphs are so similar that I can not differentiate them.

Apple is better on Javascript benchmarks. If you look at the 3DMark physics engine the iphones are towards the bottom of the list as you would expect. This tells me that the javascript engine for ios / safari is far more optimized than

I am colorblind too, but I solved level 20. I just assumed there were two of the same color. It sounds like I lucked out.. Level 21 however is being a pain.

I think his vs her is more interesting than men vs women. http://chronicle.nytlabs.com/?keyword=his.her Surprisingly, the difference seems to be be fairly constant.

If it is written in Python, is this really only relevant to Ubuntu ?

It also comes after Vic Gundotra left Google. I do not know if that had to do with the decision.

Those are legitimate concerns. How about the cases when a politician said something racist/bigoted 10 years ago. He wants them expunged now because his views are different. How do you differentiate political convenience from legitimate
