Research direction
Start by locating the existing Python ctypes bindings and tracing how they expose ArrayFire GPU access. Compare the current binding surface with the CFFI approach, then verify that GPU access remains available on PyPy and that the migration meets the stated performance goal.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
CFFI outperforms ctypes, even on CPython.
It will also make arrayfire-python the first library that enables GPU access from PyPy.
