AMD Working To 'Push Rust Deep into the GPU Stack'
Phoronix reports: AMD is building out what they are describing as an "elite" team of developers for driving Rust code "deep into the GPU stack" from firmware to drivers, shader compilers, and other GPU software in Rust.

AMD is investing in a specialized team of developers to integrate Rust programming into its GPU stack, according to Phoronix. Senior Fellow Harsh Meno revealed the initiative via LinkedIn. The company is also actively seeking a software development engineer to contribute to Rust development on its GPUs. The project encompasses various aspects, including compilers, runtime systems, low-level GPU software, firmware, developer tools, and techniques to enhance the safety and reliability of hardware-software systems.
The team will focus on establishing Rust's role in performance-critical and trustworthy parts of the GPU stack, such as the compiler, tooling, system interfaces, engineering practices, and production deployment validation methods. The article also notes that NVIDIA is pursuing similar Rust-based initiatives for its GPU software, such as the Nova Linux kernel driver written in Rust.
