  • The Rust CUDA Project aims to make Rust a top-tier language for GPU computing using the CUDA Toolkit.
  • Provides tools for compiling Rust to PTX code and libraries for integrating with CUDA.
  • CUDA is the dominant toolkit for GPU computing, despite being NVIDIA-exclusive.
  • Previous Rust GPU solutions like LLVM PTX backend had limitations, prompting the need for specialized tools.
  • Project benefits include performance optimizations, Rust's safety features, and high-level CUDA library wrappers.
  • Key crates include rustc_codegen_nvvm (PTX generation), cuda_std (GPU utilities), cust (CPU-side CUDA features), and more.
  • Related projects: glassful, inspirv-rust, rust-gpu (SPIR-V compiler).
  • Setup involves environment variables for OptiX and Docker for distribution.
