## What it is
An ecosystem of Rust libraries and tools for writing and executing fast GPU code fully in Rust, targeting NVIDIA CUDA. It lets developers author CUDA kernels and GPU programs without leaving the Rust language.

## Use cases
- write CUDA kernels in Rust
- run GPGPU computations from Rust
- compile Rust code to NVIDIA GPU
- accelerate numerical workloads on GPU
- avoid writing C++ for CUDA programming
- build GPU-accelerated Rust applications

## When to choose
- you want to write GPU code in pure Rust instead of CUDA C++
- your project is Rust-based and needs NVIDIA GPU acceleration
- you can tolerate an early-stage, evolving toolchain

## When to avoid
- you need production-stable, battle-tested CUDA tooling today
- you target non-NVIDIA GPUs (AMD/Intel) rather than CUDA
- you need mature debugging and profiling support for GPU kernels

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: experimental
- function: gpu-computing, compiler, build-tool, developer-tools
- domain: gpu-computing, developer-tools, programming-languages, performance
- platform: rust, windows, cross-platform
- tags: cuda, gpgpu, cuda-kernels, rust-lang, nvidia, gpu, linux
