+NVIDIA® Tools Extension SDK (NVTX) is a C-based API for annotating events,
+code ranges, and resources in your applications.
+[nvtx-rs] by [@simbleau] is a safe rust wrapper for it.
+
+The intent is to safely wrap the NVTX library in rusty fashion
+to provide a proper cross-platform library for GPU and CPU profiling.
+Ideally this library would be used in benchmarking rust applications
+and performing research on rust projects such as a GPU analysis
+with zero-cost abstraction.
