We talked in the meeting today (#15) that it would be good to list out all previous related Rust GPU initiatives and projects in the README, and maybe a bit how they relate or differ from the approach(es) we are taking here.

Could put them under a "Previous Work and Related Projects" section

  • 2013 - Experimental Rust PTX compute backend on Nvidia GPU
    • @pcwalton do you have any more links or info about it?
  • 2018 - Accel
  • 2019 - RLSL by @MaikKlein. This we do mention in the README, but can compare more

Likely more?

Is this change still wanted/needed? I would be happy to take it up as I familiarize myself with the project,

sure! Imagining a pretty brief README section with like a one-liner for each related project in chronological order, or something like that
