rGPU - Run PyTorch tensors on a remote GPU

Show HN: Rgpu – a PyTorch device whose tensors live on a remote GPU

rGPU lets you keep Python on your laptop while running PyTorch operations and storing tensors on a remote NVIDIA GPU. It offers two paths: a native PyTorch device for simple integration, and a CUDA shim for existing Linux CUDA programs. With a quick pip install and a single command, you can train models like nanoGPT from a Mac without CUDA. Ideal for developers who need GPU power but prefer local development. The project includes thorough documentation and is Apache 2.0 licensed.

Keep Python on your laptop. Run PyTorch operations and hold tensors on a remote GPU, including from a Mac with no CUDA installation.
