rumus 0.1.2

A native-Rust deep learning framework with explicit memory safety and hardware acceleration
Documentation

rumus

Core crate for the RUMUS native-Rust deep learning framework.

What's Inside

Module Description
tensor StorageHandle (CPU Vec or GPU wgpu::Buffer via parking_lot::RwLock<StorageData>), Layout, AutogradState, and all tensor operations (add, mul, matmul, relu, dropout, im2col, flatten, max_pool2d, cross_entropy_loss, etc.)
autograd Thread-local Tape, GradientStore, Kahn's algorithm backward engine, no_grad() RAII guard, VersionSnapshot with Weak references
backend Backend trait (CPU) + feature-gated gpu module: GpuContext singleton, BufferPool, PipelineCache (25 WGSL compute pipelines), and all GPU dispatch functions
nn Parameter, Module trait, #[derive(Module)] (re-exported from rumus-macros), Linear, Conv2d, MaxPool2d, Flatten, Dropout, mse_loss, cross_entropy_loss, safetensors IO
optim Optimizer trait, SGD, Adam, AdamW — all with CPU + GPU dual-path dispatch
train Trainer<O: Optimizer> — closure-based train_step() orchestrator

Features

  • default — CPU-only build. No external GPU dependencies.
  • gpu — Enables WGPU compute backend (wgpu + pollster). All tensor ops auto-dispatch to WGSL shaders when data is GPU-resident.

Quick Start

use rumus::nn::{self, Linear, Module, cross_entropy_loss};
use rumus::optim::{AdamW, Optimizer};
use rumus::train::Trainer;
use rumus::tensor::Tensor;

#[derive(Module)]
struct MLP {
    fc1: Linear,
    fc2: Linear,
}

impl MLP {
    fn new() -> Self {
        Self {
            fc1: Linear::new(4, 8, true),
            fc2: Linear::new(8, 3, true),
        }
    }
    fn forward(&self, x: &Tensor) -> Tensor {
        let h = nn::relu(&self.fc1.forward(x));
        self.fc2.forward(&h)
    }
}

let model = MLP::new();
let mut trainer = Trainer::new(AdamW::new(model.parameters(), 0.01));

// One training step:
let loss = trainer.train_step(|| {
    let logits = model.forward(&inputs);
    cross_entropy_loss(&logits, &targets)
}).unwrap();

Dependencies

  • rumus-macros — #[derive(Module)] proc macro
  • safetensors — model persistence
  • bytemuck — safe f32/u8 casts
  • parking_lot — mapped RwLock guards for StorageData
  • wgpu + pollster (optional, behind gpu feature)
