Nvidia Brings Rust To CUDA

Santa ClaraNvidia’s new compiler routes Rust through PTX.

Rust’s compile-time checks catch memory bugs that silently corrupt data in C++ kernels.

PTX is the same stable assembly target CUDA C++ already compiles to, so Rust kernels get full hardware access.

The move widens Nvidia’s fifteen-year CUDA lock-in, which AMD and Intel have yet to break.
