Over the weekend we celebrated the month-iversary of ArrayFire going open source. We're still pumped about this move, and the response from the parallel computing community has been tremendous. We thought we'd share some of our favorite ArrayFire buzz from the last month.

On the day of the release, we watched as the ArrayFire open source release steadily climbed up Hacker News, eventually landing the number three spot! Admittedly, it's hard to compete with a comet landing.

<blockquote>On the AMD side, we have been very impressed with the project. CLMath technical lead Kent Knox was excited when he took an early look. “I geeked out on their automation. It is pretty awesome – the flexibility they provide. They have a public Jenkins infrastructure for automated build &amp; test, which is impressive!”</blockquote>

Twitter caught fire as the news spread throughout the world:
