• [$] Native support for Rust on the GPU

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Wed Sep 30 06:40:09 2026


    Christian Legnitto is the maintainer of

    rust-gpu and

    Rust CUDA, two
    libraries that make it possible to program a computer's graphics processing unit
    (GPU) from Rust. He isn't satisfied with the current state of GPU support in Rust, however. In a talk at

    RustConf 2026, he explained his vision for how the
    GPU could become an ordinary compiler target for normal Rust code, without the need for any special libraries or new ecosystem support. That vision is not yet fully implemented, but he does have a prototype that he is preparing to release.
