RUMUS is a native-Rust deep learning framework with a modular architecture including core tensor/autograd library, GPU backend via WebGPU (wgpu), neural network modules, optimizers, data loading, ONNX export, JIT kernel fusion, and subcrates for vision (CNN ops, INT4 quantization), graph neural networks (SpMM), distributed training (3D parallelism), and an inference server with continuous batching. The framework emphasizes memory safety, zero-copy view operations, borrow-safe optimizers (gradient draining mechanism), and supports both CPU and GPU computation. It includes advanced features like FlashAttention, block-quantized INT8/INT4 inference, deterministic fixed-point inference for zero-knowledge backend fixtures, and a custom ops plugin API for external WGSL kernels. The codebase is well-organized with clean abstractions (Backend trait, Module derive macro), but shows signs of incomplete pieces (distributed training may be partial, inference server model is mock) and minor code-README discrepancies (unsafe usage in mmap despite claims of zero unsafe).

The LLM identified 3 files worth highlighting for reuse:

Provides a deterministic, CPU-only fixed-point inference path using i16 tensors with a global scale (scale_log2). Includes pure integer arithmetic functions (requantize with widene i64 accumulation, ties-round-away-from-zero), a FixedLinear struct that implements integer dense layers, and exact integer ReLU. This module is self-contained in its arithmetic logic and can be extracted for any integer-only inference backend, demonstrating a clean pattern for producing bit-exact results suitable for zero-knowledge proof systems.

Implements a custom binary format (.rrec) for high-throughput data loading using memory-mapped files (memmap2). Provides a RecordWriter that packs tensor metadata, data, and padding for alignment, and a RecordReader that yields tensors from the mmapped region. The format is simple and reusable for any machine learning pipeline requiring efficient I/O, and the code is well-structured with proper error handling and explicit unsafe for mmap only.

Implements a #[derive(Module)] proc macro that auto-generates methods like train(), eval(), parameters(), state_dict() for named-field structs. Uses syn/quote for token manipulation and handles recursive field traversal. This macro is a clean example of Rust metaprogramming for reducing boilerplate in ML frameworks and can be adapted (with trait changes) for similar derive patterns in other Rust projects.
