About RunMat
RunMat (by Dystr) is a fast, free, open-source alternative for running MATLAB code.
Users can run their existing .m files with complete MATLAB language grammar and core semantics. No license fees, no lock-in. 300+ built-in functions supported.
RunMat is built with a modern Rust runtime featuring a tiered execution model: an interpreter (Ignition) for instant 5ms startup and a JIT compiler (Turbine/Cranelift) for hot paths. GPU acceleration is automatic via a fusion engine that detects elementwise operation chains and dispatches them as optimized GPU kernels across NVIDIA, AMD, Apple Silicon, and Intel GPUs through Metal, DirectX 12, Vulkan, and WebGPU. Up to 131x faster than NumPy and 7x faster than PyTorch on dense numerical workloads.
Runs everywhere: CLI, NPM package, Homebrew, Jupyter kernel, or instantly in the browser via WebAssembly + WebGPU. Single portable binary. MIT licensed.

TypeGPU
TypeGPU is a TypeScript library that enhances the WebGPU API, allowing resource management in a type-safe, declarative way. It is designed to change the way developers work with GPU rendering and computing by bringing stronger structure, validation, and developer experience to WebGPU workflows. TypeGPU helps developers easily encode and decode GPU data, using typed binary so they do not have to think about raw bytes when writing GPU programs. Complex data types such as structs and arrays can be described directly, while TypeScript automatically validates outgoing and incoming data. It works on React Native through react-native-wgpu, expanding WebGPU development beyond the browser. TypeGPU’s roadmap is focused on end-to-end type safety on the GPU through interoperating primitives such as data structures, buffers, bind groups, a linker, functions, pipelines, and imperative code.

Rio Terminal
Rio is a terminal application that’s built with Rust, WebGPU, Tokio runtime. It targets to have the best frame per second experience as long you want, but is also configurable to use as minimal from GPU.
The terminal renderer is based on redux state machine, lines that has not updated will not suffer a redraw. Looking for the minimal rendering process in most of the time. Rio is also designed to support WebAssembly runtime so in the future you will be able to define how a tab system will work with a WASM plugin written in your favorite language.
Rio uses WGPU, which is an implementation of WebGPU for use outside of a browser and as backend for Firefox’s WebGPU implementation. WebGPU allows for more efficient usage of modern GPU’s than WebGL.

MATLAB
MATLAB® combines a desktop environment tuned for iterative analysis and design processes with a programming language that expresses matrix and array mathematics directly. It includes the Live Editor for creating scripts that combine code, output, and formatted text in an executable notebook. MATLAB toolboxes are professionally developed, rigorously tested, and fully documented. MATLAB apps let you see how different algorithms work with your data. Iterate until you’ve got the results you want, then automatically generate a MATLAB program to reproduce or automate your work. Scale your analyses to run on clusters, GPUs, and clouds with only minor code changes. There’s no need to rewrite your code or learn big data programming and out-of-memory techniques. Automatically convert MATLAB algorithms to C/C++, HDL, and CUDA code to run on your embedded processor or FPGA/ASIC. MATLAB works with Simulink to support Model-Based Design.
