The gpu driver for apple m1 silicon is written is Rust.
- Narishma 2y agoI think the new Nvidia driver is also being written in Rust, though it's not ready yet.
- Rochus 2y agoDidn't they announce hat they use Ada and SPARK for such things some years ago?
- mixedCase 2y agoI believe this poster meant the new Linux driver for Nvidia cards called Nova (announcement: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/Zfsj0_tb-0-tNrJy@cassiopeiae/ https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/Zfsj0_tb-0-tNrJy@cassiopei...), not the driver maintained by Nvidia.
- a-dub 2y agothis is also very cool! some pretty nice blog posts from the asahi folks about this and the code looks nice...
- MBCook 2y agoAnd have never had a single crash from their code. And wrote a fully compliant Open GL stack for it in rust. Shipped by Fedora. Used on all Apple Silicon Macs running Linux. The value exists and has been proven. The community can say no to it, but dismissing the work of Lina and the Asahi team members who have worked on Rust stuff as a “toy project” is just being rude.
