GPU programming used to mean wrangling C++ compilers, bloated SDKs, and vendor-specific toolchains. That’s changing. You can now write GPU code in modern languages like Rust and Zig with fewer layers. This post walks through the current state of Zig’s GPU backends and how they stack up across Vulkan, OpenCL, and native ISAs. SPIR-V, PTX and AMDGCN Zig’s GPU backend support has been steadily evolving. After roughly 4 years, the self-hosted SPIR-V backend is now mature enough to experiment with

We ported a few popular Shadertoy shaders over to Rust using Rust GPU. The process was straightforward and we want to share some highlights. The code is available on GitHub. Rust GPU is a project that allows you to write code for GPUs using the Rust programming language. GPUs are typically programmed using specialized languages like WGSL, GLSL, MSL, or HLSL. Rust GPU changes this by letting you use Rust to write GPU programs (often called "shaders" or "kernels"). These Rust GPU programs are t

Precise GPU observability and programmability are essential for optimizing performance in AI workloads and other computationally intensive high-performance computing (HPC) applications. In this paper, we introduce eGPU, the first framework and eBPF runtime that dynamically offloads eBPF bytecode onto GPUs via dynamic PTX injection. Designed primarily for observability, our system leverages real-time GPU telemetry, eBPF-based dynamic instrumentation, and automated performance analysis to pinpoint

The GPU in your computer is about 10 to 100 times more powerful than the CPU, depending on workload. For real-time graphics rendering and machine learning, you are enjoying that power, and doing those workloads on a CPU is not viable. Why aren’t we exploiting that power for other workloads? What prevents a GPU from being a more general purpose computer? I believe there are two main things holding it back.
