About the project

A Rust-to-CUDA compiler from NVIDIA Labs: write SIMT GPU kernels in pure Rust and compile them to PTX with no DSLs or foreign bindings. Currently in alpha.

Useful for

Build a CUDA kernel in Rust with a single cargo oxide build
Inspect the generated PTX via cargo oxide inspect
Check kernel correctness with cargo oxide sanitize --tool memcheck
