# enkiruntime/enki

> 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.

- Magnitude: 1.7 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 5 total · +0 stars today, ≈ 4 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: Rust · Created: 2026-09-22 · Last push: 2026-10-02
- GitHub: https://github.com/enkiruntime/enki · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/enkiruntime/enki

## 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

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 4 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.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: Enki – Write GPU compute kernels in pure stable Rust” — 9 points, 6 h ago.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 0
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 1 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0
- Latest release: v0.1.0 (2026-09-22)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
