Are we learning yet?
GPUs are widely used in machine learning tasks including both training and inference, making them key components a performant machine learning ecosystem. Rust's GPU support, particularly around Geneneral-Purpose GPU (GPGPU) and compute shaders is incomplete, but a number of efforts including the WebGPU ecosystem, as well as CUDA and OpenCL are making progress.

arrayfire [ crate · repo · docs ]
ArrayFire is a high performance software library for parallel computing with an easy-to-use API. Its array based function set makes parallel programming simple. ArrayFire's multiple backends (CUDA, OpenCL and native CPU) make it platform independent and highly portable. A few lines of code in ArrayFire can replace dozens of lines of parallel computing code, saving you valuable time and lowering development costs. This crate provides Rust bindings for ArrayFire library.
