Module compute 

2026-09-25: A build-time kernel compilation target: the Vendor parsed from HARDWARE.toml, the ComputeTarget trait, and its nvcc implementation.

No code outside this file uses the module. The kernel build script declares its own ComputeTarget trait and vendor implementations in crates/kernels/build_target.rs. The runtime side is the GpuBackend trait in metrale-gpu-runtime.

Owner: core. Invariants: none beyond the types.

Structs

NvidiaTarget

2026-09-25: NVIDIA compilation target: .cu to PTX with nvcc --ptx -arch=<arch> -O3.

Enums

Vendor

2026-09-25: Vendor identifier parsed from a HARDWARE.toml vendor string.

Traits

ComputeTarget

2026-09-25: How one vendor compiles kernel source files into loadable modules. NvidiaTarget is the only implementation.

Functions

target_for_vendor

2026-09-25: Resolve the ComputeTarget for a HARDWARE.toml vendor string. A missing or unrecognised vendor resolves to NvidiaTarget.
