Tyr, a new Rust DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs

news.ycombinator.com Introducing Tyr 2026-02-07 02:07:13

The last year has seen substantial progress on the DRM infrastructure required to write GPU drivers in Rust. While a great part of it was fueled by the development of Nova (the new driver for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs), and by AGX (the driver for the GPUs on Apple's M-series chip that preceded Nova), a few components were being worked on to cater to a then undisclosed driver that was being prototyped behind the scenes. A driver that we now introduce to the community at large in a very early stage.

By having a eureka moment right after a nap, he joined a club full of rather talented people: Mary Shelley, Thomas Edison, and Salvador Dali.
