Rust Portable SIMD Now Runs on the GPU and It Changes Everything About Cross-Platform Parallelism
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. But VectorWare just changed that by making Rust's portable SIMD — core::simd — work natively on the GPU. If that sounds like a niche technical achievement, it isn't. It's the first crack in a wall that…
