Tyr: a new Rust GPU driver for the Linux Kernel

This talk introduces Tyr, a new Rust-based GPU driver for the Linux kernel. We’ll begin with a brief look at how modern GPUs work before diving into Arm’s GPU architecture and explain how it’s supported at the kernel level, highlighting the key components of a Linux GPU driver. We’ll conclude with an overview of the project’s current status and what’s ahead on the roadmap.
