Tyr: A New Rust GPU Driver for the Linux Kernel

Thursday September 10, 2026 15:45 - 16:25 EDT

Palais des Congrès de Montréal

This talk will discuss the new Rust kernel driver for Arm Mali GPUs. We will start by introducing the Linux GPU stack and follow with a brief overview on how modern GPUs work. This will segue into a discussion about the current status of the Tyr driver and its surrounding infrastructure, including other Rust GPU drivers for the Linux kernel. We will conclude by discussing the future plans for the project and touch upon some of the issues that are still at large.
