goals for 0.2.x

[ariasanovsky]

features

• tensor fusion/multivariate functions
• impure functions (& and &mut)
• assess what to pack into kernel typestate w/ traits
  • e.g., dims, rank, crate metadata, compiler flags, thread geometry, ...
• versatile thread layout
• device ordinals for CudaSlice initialization
• fill with const
• sum/summands
• map fn w/ range entry
• refilling an existing slice
• fn __unlabel(&self) & unsafe fn __relabel(&self)
• DevSlice::new

ergonomics

• better display for spindle crates
• assess the "crate" approach
  • ?compile a kernel.c and FFI the Rust part
  • goal: target different architecture + ?migrate off of experimental ptx ABI

correctness

• ?does cudarc always 0-initialize
• use uuid better (e.g., rusqlite feature)
• feature to use rust ptx_compiler or abi_ptx for kernels

sanitation

• dump artifacts according to the appropriate environment variables
• clean out fledgling dbg! and todo! (write tests as needed)
• [ ] ?smuggle trait const to config/typestate
• ?refactor TypeDb to use embedded hash map/cache instead of SQL

misc

• ?bundle smaller Issues here to avoid clutter
• refactor & test camel/snake case
• say hi 💘to the candle folks 🫂🤗 <- hugging + face emoji pun
  • improve pun skills

Not a final draft. Some things are hard to put in linear order.
