baracuda-driver 0.0.1-alpha.31

Safe Rust wrappers for the CUDA Driver API (devices, contexts, streams, events, memory, kernels, graphs).
Documentation
//! Occupancy calculators — how many blocks can a kernel fit per SM, and
//! what block size maximizes utilization.
//!
//! These are essential for kernel tuning: before launching, ask the driver
//! "given this kernel and this dynamic-shared-memory budget, what's the
//! best grid/block shape?" The results depend on the target device's
//! register file, shared-memory size, and the kernel's own resource use.
