The Mental Model

To write effective GPU algorithms with Enki, developers do not need to learn a foreign shader language. However, it is essential to understand how standard Rust types map onto physical GPU hardware.

This section deconstructs the conceptual and architectural bridges between host Rust and graphics silicon:

• Rust References to 64-bit BDA: How Enki completely eliminates Vulkan descriptor sets by routing 64-bit Buffer Device Addresses (BDA) through push constants.
• The SPMD Per-Cell Principle: The conceptual distinction between 1:1 scalar cell access (&mut T) and unconstrained global slices (&mut [T]).
• Spatial Execution & Topology: Navigating multi-dimensional problem spaces (1D, 2D, 3D), workgroup tiles, and coordinate helper functions using Space.
