In plain words

Rgpu is a PyTorch device that allows users to keep Python running locally while executing PyTorch operations and storing tensors on a remote GPU. It works across different machines, including Macs without CUDA installation. The tool is designed for developers who want to leverage remote GPU resources without needing local GPU setup or moving their Python environment to a different machine.

  • Run PyTorch locally with a remote GPU backend2025 · github.com · ▲5

    I integrated a remote GPU execution backend into PyTorch through the same system that custom hardware accelerators get integrated into PyTorch. You can create a remote machine and obtain its CUDA device whenever you want to create or move tensors onto the remote GPU. machine = mycelya_torch.RemoteMachine("modal", "A100") cuda_device = machine.device("cuda") x = torch.randn(1000, 1000, device=cuda_device) y = torch.randn(1000, 1000).to(cuda_device) I made it reasonably performant by having most operations dispatch asynchronously whenever possible. For cases where slow performance is…

  • ChartGPU – WebGPU-powered charting library (1M points at 60fps)Jan 2026 · github.com · ▲670

    Creator here. I built ChartGPU because I kept hitting the same wall: charting libraries that claim to be "fast" but choke past 100K data points. The core insight: Canvas2D is fundamentally CPU-bound. Even WebGL chart libraries still do most computation on the CPU. So I moved everything to the GPU via WebGPU: - LTTB downsampling runs as a compute shader - Hit-testing for tooltips/hover is GPU-accelerated - Rendering uses instanced draws (one draw call per series) The result: 1M points at 60fps with smooth zoom/pan. Live demo:…

  • Attaching to a virtual GPU over TCP2024 · thundercompute.com · ▲344

    We developed a tool to trick your computer into thinking it’s attached to a GPU which actually sits across a network. This allows you to switch the number or type of GPUs you’re using with a single command.

  • HipScript – Run CUDA in the browser with WebAssembly and WebGPU2025 · hipscript.lights0123.com · ▲309

    CUDA is NVIDIA's language for GPU programming, allowing you to mix write CPU and GPU code in C++ in one file. By chaining a few projects that compile CUDA to OpenCL, then Vulkan, then WebGPU, you can experiment with this GPGPU language on any hardware.

    We built installable software for Windows & Linux that makes any remote Nvidia GPU accessible to, and shareable across, any number of remote clients running local applications, all over standard networking.

  • I built a tensor library from scratch in C++/CUDA2025 · github.com · ▲119

    Hi HN, Over the past few months, I've been building `dsc`, a tensor library from scratch in C++/CUDA. My main focus has been on getting the basics right, prioritizing a clean API, simplicity, and clear observability for running small LLMs locally. The key features are: - C++ core with CUDA support written from scratch. - A familiar, PyTorch-like Python API. - Runs real models: it's complete enough to load a model like Qwen from HuggingFace and run inference on both CUDA and CPU with a single line change[1]. - Simple, built-in observability for both Python and C++. Next on the roadmap is…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
