### [Rust CUDA]

[Rust CUDA] by [Riccardo D'Ambrosio] is a [newly-released
project][rust-cuda-announcement] with the goal of making Rust a Tier-1 language
for fast GPU computing. There are still many bugs, and it's in an early stage.

With this release comes a few crates. [rustc_codegen_nvvm] for compiling Rust to
CUDA PTX code using rustc's custom codegen mechanisms and the libnvvm CUDA
library. [cust] for actually executing the PTX is a high-level wrapper for the
CUDA Driver API. [cuda_builder] for easily building GPU crates. [cuda_std] is
the GPU-side standard library which complements rustc_codegen_nvvm. [gpu_rand]
is a GPU-friendly random number generation. [nvvm] is high-level bindings to
libnvvm, and [ptx_compiler] is high-level bindings to the PTX compiler APIs,
which are currently incomplete. [find_cuda_helper] is for finding CUDA on the
system. There are many other works in progress.
