Rust SIMD Just Came to the GPU — and It Changes How We Think About Parallel Programming

For decades, GPU programming has meant one of two things: writing CUDA kernels in C++ or wrestling with OpenCL. Both require you to think in a fundamentally different paradigm than CPU programming.

• Rust SIMD now works natively on GPUs, bridging decades-long programming gap
• VectorWare's GPU runtime enables SIMD code to run without modifications
• Same Rust code can run on x86 CPUs, ARM devices, and GPUs with single codebase

Porting a Python PEG parser to Rust in 72 hours, and actually proving it worked

There's a joke that every Rust project starts with someone saying "we should rewrite this in Rust" and ends four weekends later with a half-finished repo and a lot of new opinions about lifetimes.

• Team ported parsimonious Python PEG parser to Rust in 72 hours for Port Mortem 2026 hackathon
• Rust parser achieved 23x performance increase over original Python parser
• Optimized Rust parser used 6.7 MB memory vs. 13 MB, with 0.016 ms peak latency
