# ymcrcat/rgpu

> Runs PyTorch operations and holds tensors on a remote NVIDIA GPU while the application stays on the client, including on a Mac without CUDA. Offers two paths: an rgpu device for PyTorch and a CUDA shim for existing Linux programs.

## Useful for

- Run PyTorch training on a remote GPU while keeping code on the laptop
- Connect an existing CUDA program to a remote server via the shim
- Verify tensor operations on a remote GPU with a smoke test

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 17:58–20:34: 13 → 13 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- The repository is 26 days old and already has 13 stars.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: Rgpu – a PyTorch device whose tensors live on a remote GPU” — 8 points, 15 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.

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.
