BoF: Practical Machine Learning & Portable Compute with Rust

Submitted Apr 14, 2026

Proposal:

Rust is gaining traction as a foundation for efficient and portable machine learning systems.
This Birds of a Feather session is a discussion-driven forum on practical ML and portable compute in Rust.

We’ll share experiences around inference pipelines, compute backends, and integrating with existing ML ecosystems.

Topics include performance optimization, hardware portability, and deploying Rust across diverse environments.
Expect an open exchange of ideas, challenges, and emerging patterns from practitioners.

Author Bio:

Swarnim Arun is a Senior Software Engineer at Aftershoot working on machine learning systems in Rust, focusing on performance and real-world deployment across different compute targets.
