GPU Kernel DevOps Platform for Rust/CUDA Ecosystem
arms-dealerai coding
Thesis
With the launch of CUDA Rust, there’s a tooling gap for teams building, testing, and deploying GPU kernels in modern stacks. Provide cloud-based CI, test, and packaging for Rust/CUDA pipelines.
The wedge
Rust/CUDA kernel CI/CD and package repository with GPU-in-the-loop testing
Why now
NVIDIA just introduced CUDA Rust (NVIDIA Developer Blog), but DevOps tools lag behind Python/C++ stack maturity.

Main risk
Rust may not reach critical mass for GPU programming if Python continues to dominate.
