ferrox-cuda: hardware capability detection (always compiled, always tested) plus an optional, feature-gated CUDA execution path.
Build without any GPU support (the default): cargo build -p ferrox-cuda.
Build with the CUDA scaffolding included: cargo build -p ferrox-cuda --features cuda.
The cuda feature compiles cleanly in this development sandbox
(which has neither a CUDA toolkit nor a GPU) because cudarc is
configured for dynamic loading – the driver and NVRTC libraries
are dlopen’d at runtime, not linked at build time. That means
“this crate compiles with --features cuda” is a true, checked
fact. It does not mean the CUDA kernels in gpu.rs have ever
executed successfully; see that module’s docs for exactly what has
and has not been verified.

Modules§
- capability
- Runtime hardware capability detection: probe once, report a plain
struct, and let every performance-relevant decision (thread pool
width, SIMD kernel selection, GPU residency) derive from the
detected machine rather than being hardcoded. Ferrox
today only has a CPU execution path, so
HardwareProfile::detect()is honest about that: the CUDA fields are always populated (zero / false / None) unless built with--features cuda, and even then they report exactly whatferrox-cuda’s device probe finds, no more.
