Async/Await on the GPU

Very cool to see this and something I have been curious about myself and exploring the space as well. I'd be curious what are some parallels and differentiations between this and NVIDIA's stdexec (outside of it being in Rust and using Future, which is also cooL)
zozbot234•34m ago
I'm not quite seeing the real benefit of this. Is the idea that warps will now be able to do work-stealing and continuation-stealing when running heterogenous parallel workloads? But that requires keeping the async function's state in GPU-wide shared memory, which is generally a scarce resource.
LegNeato•26m ago
Yes, that's the idea.

GPU-wide memory is not quite as scarce on datacenter cards or systems with unified memory. One could also have local executors with local futures that are `!Send` and place in a faster address space.

What's the performance like? What would the benefits be of converting a streaming multiprocessor programming model to this?
LegNeato•14m ago
We aren't focused on performance yet (it is often workload and executor dependent, and as the post says we currently do some inefficient polling) but Rust futures compile down to state machines so they are a zero-cost abstraction.

The anticipated benefits are similar to the benefits of async/await on CPU: better ergonomics for the developer writing concurrent code, better utilization of shared/limited resources, fewer concurrency bugs.

Is this Nvidia-only or does it work on other architectures?
LegNeato•13m ago
Currently NVIDIA-only, we're cooking up some Vulkan stuff in rust-gpu though.
