RunMat
Open-source runtime that executes MATLAB syntax on CPU and GPU automatically, with cross-platform hardware support and no vendor lock-in.
What is RunMat?
RunMat is an open-source runtime that executes MATLAB-style syntax, automatically accelerating numerical computations on both CPU and GPU hardware. It solves the problem of proprietary licensing and vendor lock-in by providing a cross-platform, high-performance alternative for array-heavy math workloads. The system intelligently fuses operations and chooses the optimal hardware (CPU or GPU) without requiring manual kernel code or device management.
Researchers, engineers, and students who work with MATLAB syntax and need faster performance on their existing hardware, especially those dealing with imaging/geospatial processing, quantitative finance simulations, signal processing, and large-scale numerical analysis.
Developers choose RunMat because it offers MATLAB language compatibility without license fees, automatic GPU acceleration across multiple hardware vendors, and a modern architecture built in Rust for safety and performance. Its unique selling point is the fusion engine that automatically optimizes and offloads work to GPU, eliminating the need for manual kernel programming or device flags.
Overview
