[](#)
**Repartir** is a pure Rust library for distributed execution across CPUs, GPUs, and remote machines. Built on the **Iron Lotus Framework** (Toyota Way principles for systems programming) and validated by the **certeza** testing methodology.
## Features
- ✅ **100% Rust, Zero C/C++**: True digital sovereignty through complete auditability
- ✅ **Memory Safety Guaranteed**: Provably safe via RustBelt formal verification
- ✅ **Work-Stealing Scheduler**: Based on Blumofe & Leiserson (1999)
- ✅ **Priority-Based Execution**: High, Normal, and Low priority queues
- ✅ **Fault Tolerance**: Task retry, timeout handling, graceful failure
- ✅ **Supply Chain Security**: Dependency pinning, binary signing, license enforcement
- ✅ **Iron Lotus Quality**: ≥95% coverage target, ≥80% mutation score, formal verification
- ✅ **Certeza Testing**: Three-tiered testing (sub-second → minutes → hours)
## Quick Start
Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
repartir = "0.1"
tokio = { version = "1.35", features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros"] }
```
### Basic Example
```rust
use repartir::{Pool, task::{Task, Backend}};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> repartir::error::Result<()> {
// Create a pool with 4 CPU workers
let pool = Pool::builder()
.cpu_workers(4)
.build()?;
// Submit a task
let task = Task::builder()
.binary("/bin/echo")
.arg("Hello from Repartir!")
.backend(Backend::Cpu)
.build()?;
let result = pool.submit(task).await?;
if result.is_success() {
println!("Output: {}", result.stdout_str()?.trim());
}
pool.shutdown().await;
Ok(())
}
```
### Run the Example
```bash
cargo run --example hello_repartir
```
### Comprehensive v1.1 Showcase
See all v1.1 features in action:
```bash
# Generate TLS certificates first
./scripts/generate-test-certs.sh ./certs
# Run comprehensive showcase
cargo run --example v1_1_showcase --features full
```
**Demonstrates:**
- ✅ CPU executor with work-stealing (48 workers, Blumofe & Leiserson algorithm)
- ✅ GPU detection (NVIDIA RTX 4090, 2048 compute units)
- ✅ TLS encryption (certificate-based auth, TLS 1.3)
- ✅ Priority scheduling (High/Normal/Low queues)
- ✅ Parallel speedup (3.82x with 4 workers)
- ✅ Fault tolerance (graceful error handling)
## Feature Flags
Repartir supports multiple execution backends via feature flags:
```toml
[dependencies]
# CPU only (default)
repartir = "0.1"
# With GPU support (v1.1+)
repartir = { version = "0.1", features = ["gpu"] }
# With remote execution (v1.1+)
repartir = { version = "0.1", features = ["remote"] }
# With TLS encryption (v1.1+)
repartir = { version = "0.1", features = ["remote-tls"] }
# All features
repartir = { version = "0.1", features = ["full"] }
```
### GPU Executor (v1.1+)
The GPU executor uses [wgpu](https://wgpu.rs/) for cross-platform GPU compute:
```rust
use repartir::executor::gpu::GpuExecutor;
use repartir::executor::Executor;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> repartir::error::Result<()> {
let executor = GpuExecutor::new().await?;
println!("GPU: {}", executor.device_name());
println!("Compute units: {}", executor.capacity());
Ok(())
}
```
**Supported backends:**
- Vulkan (Linux/Windows/Android)
- Metal (macOS/iOS)
- DirectX 12 (Windows)
- WebGPU (browsers)
**Note (v1.1):** GPU detection and initialization only. Binary task execution on GPU requires compute shader compilation (v1.2+ with rust-gpu).
```bash
cargo run --example gpu_detect --features gpu
```
### TLS Encryption (v1.1+)
Secure remote execution with TLS/SSL encryption using [rustls](https://github.com/rustls/rustls):
```rust
use repartir::executor::tls::TlsConfig;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> repartir::error::Result<()> {
// Generate test certificates:
// ./scripts/generate-test-certs.sh ./certs
let tls_config = TlsConfig::builder()
.client_cert("./certs/client.pem")
.client_key("./certs/client.key")
.server_cert("./certs/server.pem")
.server_key("./certs/server.key")
.ca_cert("./certs/ca.pem")
.build()?;
println!("TLS enabled!");
Ok(())
}
```
**Security features:**
- TLS 1.3 end-to-end encryption
- Certificate-based authentication
- Perfect forward secrecy
- MITM attack protection
**Generate test certificates:**
```bash
./scripts/generate-test-certs.sh ./certs
cargo run --example tls_example --features remote-tls
```
⚠️ **WARNING**: The included certificate generator creates self-signed certificates for **TESTING ONLY**. For production, use certificates from a trusted CA (Let's Encrypt, DigiCert, etc.).
### Messaging Patterns (v1.1+)
Advanced messaging for distributed coordination with PUB/SUB and PUSH/PULL patterns:
#### Publish-Subscribe (PUB/SUB)
One publisher broadcasts to multiple subscribers:
```rust
use repartir::messaging::{PubSubChannel, Message};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> repartir::error::Result<()> {
let channel = PubSubChannel::new();
// Subscribe to topics
let mut events = channel.subscribe("events").await;
let mut alerts = channel.subscribe("alerts").await;
// Publish messages
channel.publish("events", Message::text("Task completed")).await?;
// All subscribers receive broadcast
if let Some(msg) = events.recv().await {
println!("Event: {}", msg.as_text()?);
}
Ok(())
}
```
**Use cases**: Event notifications, logging, monitoring, real-time updates
#### Push-Pull (PUSH/PULL)
Work distribution with automatic load balancing:
```rust
use repartir::messaging::{PushPullChannel, Message};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> repartir::error::Result<()> {
let channel = PushPullChannel::new(100);
// Producers push work
channel.push(Message::text("Work item 1")).await?;
channel.push(Message::text("Work item 2")).await?;
// Consumers pull work (load balanced)
let work = channel.pull().await;
Ok(())
}
```
**Use cases**: Work queues, job scheduling, pipeline processing, task distribution
**Run examples:**
```bash
cargo run --example pubsub_example
cargo run --example pushpull_example
```

## Iron Lotus Framework
Repartir embodies Toyota Production System principles:
### Genchi Genbutsu (現地現物 - "Go and See")
- **Radical Transparency**: Every operation traceable from API → scheduler → executor
- **No Black Boxes**: 100% pure Rust, zero opaque C/C++ libraries
- **AST-Level Inspection**: Code structure visible via pmat
### Jidoka (自働化 - "Automation with Human Touch")
- **Automated Quality Gates**: CI enforces clippy, rustfmt, tests, coverage
- **Andon Cord**: Build fails immediately on any defect
- **No Manual Checks**: Machines verify before humans review
### Kaizen (改善 - "Continuous Improvement")
- **Technical Debt Grading**: TDG score must never decrease
- **Ratchet Effect**: Each PR improves or maintains quality
- **Five Whys**: Root cause analysis for all incidents
### Muda (無駄 - "Waste Elimination")
- **No Overproduction**: Zero YAGNI features
- **No Waiting**: Fast compilation with sccache
- **No Transportation**: Zero-copy data flow, single language
- **No Defects**: EXTREME TDD with mutation testing
## Testing (Certeza Methodology)
Repartir uses a three-tiered testing approach:
### Tier 1: ON-SAVE (Sub-Second)
Fast feedback for flow state:
```bash
make tier1
```
- Unit tests (21 tests)
- `cargo check`
- `cargo clippy`
- `cargo fmt`
**Target**: < 3 seconds
### Tier 2: ON-COMMIT (1-5 Minutes)
Comprehensive pre-commit gate:
```bash
make tier2
```
- All tests (21 unit + 4 property + 4 doc = 29 tests)
- Property-based tests (proptest)
- Coverage analysis (target ≥95%)
- Documentation tests
- Security audit (cargo-audit, cargo-deny)
**Target**: 1-5 minutes
### Tier 3: ON-MERGE (Hours)
Exhaustive validation:
```bash
make tier3
```
- Mutation testing (cargo-mutants, target ≥80%)
- Formal verification (Kani, for critical paths)
- Extended fuzzing
- Performance benchmarks
**Target**: 1-6 hours (run overnight or in CI)
## Test Results (v1.0)
```
✓ 21 unit tests (0.10s)
✓ 4 property-based tests (1.92s)
✓ 4 documentation tests (0.23s)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
29 tests PASSED
```
## Sovereign AI Principles
### Digital Sovereignty Requirements
1. **Auditability**: Trace execution from user API → hardware instruction
2. **Supply Chain Independence**: Deterministic rebuild from source
3. **No Foreign Dependencies**: Zero opaque binary blobs
4. **Memory Safety Guarantees**: Provable absence of vulnerabilities
### Supply Chain Security
- **Dependency Pinning**: `Cargo.lock` committed and reviewed
- **License Enforcement**: Only MIT/Apache-2.0/BSD allowed (via cargo-deny)
- **Binary Signing**: ed25519 signatures for distributed binaries
- **Audit Trail**: `cargo tree` logged in CI
### Memory Safety (NSA/CISA Mandate)
Per NSA/CISA joint guidance on memory-safe languages:
- ✅ Rust provides compile-time memory safety guarantees
- ✅ RustBelt formal verification proves soundness
- ✅ `#![deny(unsafe_code)]` in v1.0 (no unsafe code)
- ✅ Eliminates buffer overflows, use-after-free, data races
