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 Lua bindings for the ArrayFire library.

The wrapper is currently compliant with ArrayFire 3.2 API (and higher). If you find any bugs, please report themhere.

TODO

• cmake
• Visual Studio on Windows,clang /gcc on Linux / OSX.

You can install ArrayFire using one of the following two ways.

• Download and install binaries
• Build and install from source

Post Installation Instructions

• Please readthe wiki page for setting up the proper environment variables.

Windows

1. Launchcmake-gui. Set source and build directories.
2. Press configure.
3. Selectgenerator asVisual Studio 12 2013 Win64.
   • You can choose a different generator as long as it is Win64.
4. SetCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to a location of choice.
5. Press generate. The generated visual studio solution file will be present in the build directory.
6. Open the VS solution file and build theINSTALL project.

Linux / OSX

1. Make sure the environment variableArrayFire_DIR is set to/path/to/arrayfire/share/ArrayFire/cmake.
2. Create a build directory andcd into it.
3. Runcmake /path/to/arrayfire-lua/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=package.
4. Runmake

Windows

> SET LUA_PATH=C:\path\to\install\location\arrayfire\?.lua;;> SET LUA_CPATH=C:\path\to\install\location\?.dll;;> lua.exe helloworld/helloworld.lua

Linux

$ export LUA_PATH="/path/to/install/location/arrayfire/?.lua;;"$ export LUA_CPATH="/path/to/install/location/?.so;;"$ lua helloworld/helloworld.lua

You should now be good to go!
