Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
55
cudaforge
experimentalv0.1.5
Advanced CUDA kernel builder for Rust with incremental builds, auto-detection, and external dependency support.
51
baracuda-forge
experimentalv0.0.1-alpha.38
Build-time CUDA kernel compiler for the baracuda ecosystem: nvcc-driven incremental builds, parallel compilation, GPU auto-detection, and CUTLASS / custom git dependency support.
53
baracuda-kernels
experimentalv0.0.1-alpha.38
Unified ML op facade for the baracuda CUDA ecosystem. Exposes every primitive an ML framework would expect (union of PyTorch torch.* + nn.functional and JAX lax.* / numpy ops) through a single Plan-based Rust surface, internally dispatching to baracuda-cutlass, the baracuda-* NVIDIA-library wrappers, or bespoke baracuda-kernels-sys kernels.
