A Rust compiler backend that emits SPIR-V, making Rust a first-class language for writing GPU shaders targeting Vulkan. It lets developers write graphics and compute shaders in Rust with a shared codebase for CPU and GPU.
Use cases
- write vulkan shaders in rust
- compile rust to spirv
- gpu compute shaders in rust
- replace hlsl/glsl with rust for shaders
- share code between cpu and gpu
- cross-vendor gpu programming
When to choose
- you want to write shaders in Rust instead of HLSL/GLSL
- you need Vulkan-compatible SPIR-V output across vendors
- you want a unified Rust codebase for CPU and GPU code
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, fully featured shader toolchain today
- you target NVIDIA-only CUDA workflows
- you need mature tooling and broad ecosystem support for GPU development
