Neuronika: Rust’s new machine learning framework

With the strong growth of the popularity of Rust, many researchers have also explored the research of Rust in machine learning and other aspects. Neuronika, a machine learning framework, was recently written by researchers using Rust.

Neuronika was developed by Francesco Iannelli and others, who are now masters students in computer science. The framework provides automatic differentiation and dynamic neural networks, much like Pytorch.

Thruster release v1.1.2

Thruster, a fast and intuitive Rust Web framework designed to enable developers to be productive and consistent across projects and teams.

Some highlights of v1.1.2:

  • Fully reconstructed routing trees and parsers;
  • A completely rebuilt internal “middleware” system that takes a list of middleware capabilities and combines them using closures;
  • Easier to use middleware macros;
  • Upgrade dependent libraries;

Some interesting metrics for using Thruster in production:

  • In the past four months, it has processed 2.4 million requests;
  • There were no fatal frame-related errors (0%) in the instances;
  • The average response time in 95% of the instances was well under 25 milliseconds;
  • The average RAM per instance was 14.75MB;

Walleye: Chess engine

Walleye is a UCI-compatible engine written using classic alpha-beta style AI. Supports loading checkerboard positions from arbitrary FEN strings, Unicode beautifully prints to the console and helps debug UCI communication logs. Note that this is the engine and you need to add a GUI if you want to play with it, such as Cute Chess, which has already been tested.

FEN is short for forsyth-Edwards Notation, which is used to describe the board position. See Wikipedia for details.
