mamba-rs 0.6.3

Mamba SSM and Mamba-3 SISO in Rust with optional CUDA GPU acceleration. Inference and training (BPTT through SSM state, AdamW), CPU + GPU paths, custom CUDA kernels, CUDA Graph capture, f32 / bf16 / f16. Opt-in deterministic training (bit-identical runs, batch-invariant inference) with a tensor-core tier that beats cuBLAS on LLM-sized models.

//! Process bootstrap: how a run becomes a world of ranks.
//!
//! Two entry styles cover every launcher:
//!
//! - `bootstrap(cfg)`: a process started WITHOUT a rank in its
//!   environment becomes the supervisor — it resolves the device set,
//!   re-executes itself once per rank with the rank contract set in the
//!   child environment, waits for all children, and aggregates their
//!   exit codes. Children re-enter `bootstrap`, see their rank, and get
//!   a rank context back. Single-device configs short-circuit: no
//!   spawn, no rendezvous, numerics byte-identical to a plain run.
//! - `attach(cfg)`: for ranks launched by an external launcher
//!   (torchrun/srun/mpirun) — reads the rank contract from the
//!   environment (own variables first, then the common conventions) and
//!   joins the world without spawning anything.
