Crate combs_core 

combs-core

Backend type aliases, device helpers, and the memory-pool facade for the Combs Engine L0 Rust core.

Phase 1 runs entirely on the wgpu backend (Metal on Apple Silicon) with f32 compute. f16 compute and custom CubeCL kernels are later-phase optimizations; the aliases here are the single place to change.

Re-exports

pub use burn::backend::wgpu;

Modules

quant

Group-wise 4-bit quantization support (GGUF q4_0-style layout).

Structs

BufferPool

Facade over the GPU buffer pool.

DeviceCaps

Hardware capabilities consumed by the application-layer device planner (sharding, KV budget, prefill chunk sizing). Serialized to JSON across the FFI boundary.

DeviceInfo

Basic information about a wgpu adapter.

Functions

device_caps

Queries the adapter for its limits/features and returns DeviceCaps.

device_info

Initializes the wgpu runtime for device and returns adapter information.

init_device

Returns the default wgpu device (best available GPU; on macOS this is the Metal device). Honors cubecl’s CUBECL_WGPU_DEFAULT_DEVICE override.

Type Aliases

CombsBackend

The default inference backend: autotuned, fusing wgpu/CubeCL backend.

CombsDevice

The default device handle type.
