NVIDIA Announces CUDA Rust with cuda-oxide (SIMT) and cutile-rs (Tile) for Compile-Time-Safe GPU Kernels
MarkTechPost 1 month ago 4
NVIDIA announced CUDA Rust to let Rust be used for writing GPU kernel bodies, filling the gap where Rust could already launch CUDA kernels but not define the kernel code. The cutile-rs Tile track is already on crates.io and runs on stable Rust 1.89+ (requiring CUDA 13.3), while cuda-oxide is in early alpha with a pinned nightly. Both projects use Rust ownership/borrowing to reject buffer aliasing at compile time, with Tile currently more deployable than SIMT due to alpha status.
