[SOLVED] Is it possible to access arrayfire's data memory using CPU backend without data copy?

I wanna use arrayfire in CPU mode (mkl) only to be able to access data without transmission, as it may happen for GPU data.

Is there a way to have direct access to arrayfire's data memory (only CPU blackened will be used)?

You can access the data of an af::array object by calling the device() member function. This will give you direct access to the data unless it is being referenced by another af::array or it is a sub-array/view into another array. In those cases the data will be copied.

Example:

array data = randu(10);
float* data_ptr = data.device<float>();

data_ptr[5] = 1337;
data.unlock();
af_print(data);
