baracuda-flashinfer-sys vs baracuda-flashinfer vs baracuda-cutlass-sys
Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
Raw C-ABI FFI surface for the vendored FlashInfer inference kernels (paged-KV decode, paged-KV append, cascade state merge, sort-free sampling). The launcher shims + vendored FlashInfer sources are compiled by `baracuda-kernels-sys`; this crate is a thin re-export facade so the FlashInfer C-ABI is reachable under its own crate name. Apache-2.0 (FlashInfer upstream) — see `crates/baracuda-kernels-sys/vendor/flashinfer/`.
Safe, typed Rust wrappers for NVIDIA FlashInfer's inference-serving kernels: batched paged-KV attention decode, decode-time KV-cache append, cascade / prefix-cache attention-state merge, and sort-free top-K / top-P / min-P sampling. The canonical vLLM-style serving surface for the baracuda CUDA stack. Apache-2.0 (FlashInfer upstream).
Header acquisition for NVIDIA CUTLASS as a baracuda workspace dependency. Sparse-checkout fetch with file-locked caching; emits cargo:include for downstream build.rs consumers.
