Multidimensional array library for Kotlin.
Multik provides N-dimensional arrays with type-safe dimensions, math operations, linear algebra, and statistics. It works across JVM, JS, WasmJS, iOS, and desktop native targets via Kotlin Multiplatform, with optional OpenBLAS acceleration for high performance.
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| multik-core | Core ndarray types, the mk entry point, and Math/LinAlg/Statistics API interfaces. All platforms. |
| multik-default | Combines multik-kotlin and multik-openblas for optimal performance on every platform. |
| multik-kotlin | Pure Kotlin implementation. JVM, JS, WasmJS, iOS, and desktop native. |
| multik-openblas | Native implementation backed by OpenBLAS via C++/JNI. JVM and desktop native (macOS, Linux, Windows). |
multik-core provides ndarray types, creation functions, and basic operations.
For linear algebra, statistics, and math engines, add an engine dependency —
multik-default, multik-kotlin, or multik-openblas.
Engine dependencies transitively include multik-core.

Important
- Multik needs Kotlin 2.2 or newer on JVM and Android, and Kotlin 2.4 or newer on JS, WasmJS, and Native. Multik is built with Kotlin 2.4, and on these platforms a project can't use libraries built with a newer Kotlin than its own.
- On Linux distributions with glibc older than 2.31,
multik-openblasdoesn't work. multik-openblasfor desktop native targets (linuxX64, mingwX64, macosArm64) is experimental and unstable.- On Android, Multik requires minSdk 28, and
multik-openblasonly supports arm64-v8a processors;multik-defaultuses the Kotlin engine on other ABIs.
