The Rust-CUDA project just recently started up again [0], I've started digging into it a little bit and am hoping to contribute to it since the summers are a little slower for me.

Still broken though! Has been for years. In a recent GH issue regarding desires for the reboot, I asked: "Try it on a few different machines (OS, GPUs, CUDA versions etc), make it work on modern RustC and CUDA versions without errors." The response was "That will be quite some work." Meanwhile, Cudarc works...

Totally, it's going to take a minute to get it all working. On a positive note, they recently got some sponsorship from Modal [0], who is supplying GPUs for CI/CD so they should be able to expand their hardware coverage.

Maintainer here. It is not broken, it works. See https://rust-gpu.github.io/blog/2025/03/18/rust-cuda-update

Thanks! Will give it a try, and report back.

edit: I'm still showing the latest release as from 2022, which I've already verified doesn't work.
