The product supports moving models, running autograd, shipping compiled graphs, and a CUDA shim that preserves device=\"cuda\" via a Linux driver-remoting path, and it documents measuring host waits, transfers, and completed GPU work. rGPU states it is built for trusted GPU hosts and directs users to its deployment guidance before connecting.", "body_md": "rGPU / Product documentation\n\n# Your code, here.\n\nYour GPU, anywhere.\n\nKeep Python on your laptop.
