We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's async/await on the GPU. This has never been done before. www.vectorware.com/blog/async-a... Supporting Rust's async/await (and futures) enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming more ergonomic.

vectorware.comAsync/await on the GPUGPU code can now use Rust's async/await. We share the reasons why and what this unlocks for GPU programming.

I'm getting way too far forward on my skis here but I wonder what if anything RDNA4 out of order memory might offer in this world. Makes me curious how wavelets get scheduled now. chipsandcheese.com/p/rdna-4s-ou...

This is the kind of abstraction breakthrough that unlocks new problem classes. GPU programming has been stuck in CUDA's mental model for years. If Rust async/await works, suddenly everything built on tokio/async-std can theoretically compile to GPU.
