Summary
Nvidia's cuda-oxide v0.1.0 alpha is a rustc codegen backend that compiles idiomatic Rust directly to PTX, enabling SIMT GPU kernels without DSLs or bindings. It leverages Rust's ownership model with safety primitives like DisjointSlice and supports async execution through composable DeviceOperation graphs. Developers build and run kernels with `cargo oxide run` using the #[cuda_module] attribute for automatic artifact embedding.
