Multik on JVM

Overview

The JVM is the most flexible Multik target. You can use a pure Kotlin engine for portability or a native OpenBLAS engine for performance.

Engine availability

• DEFAULT (multik-default) - picks the best available engine.

• KOTLIN (multik-kotlin) - pure Kotlin implementation.

• NATIVE (multik-openblas) - OpenBLAS-backed engine.

Dependencies

Pick one of these options:

• multik-default for convenience.

• multik-kotlin if you want pure Kotlin only.

• multik-openblas if you want the native engine explicitly.

See Installation for Gradle snippets.

Check the current engine:

Other considerations:

• OpenBLAS is useful for heavy linear algebra.

• Native dependencies must be available and compatible with your environment.

• On Android, the OpenBLAS JVM engine supports arm64-v8a only.
