Single-source pure-Rust heterogeneous GPU compute platform
About the project
A pure-Rust heterogeneous GPU compute platform: ordinary Rust functions marked with #[nam] are JIT-compiled into Vulkan 1.3 shaders and run on GPU or CPU without nightly toolchains or shading languages.
Useful for
- Run the same Rust code on GPU and CPU and verify bit-for-bit identical results
- Build a real-time raymarching demo that toggles between GPU and CPU on spacebar
- Test GPU kernels in CI without a physical GPU by running them on rayon CPU threads

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- 0 stars so far today, about 5 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 11 days old and already has 5 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
