A company with that in the name made the French national team jersey for a while.

It's Nike now, but it still has a rooster on it.
edit: According to the author in a reply, the double entendre was in fact not intentional.
you are cucking the betabuxxed bugs in your kernels with your BFV (Big Formal Verifier)
I'd expect cuke, if pronounced like cucumber would be queueck or cuck depending on which cu in cucumber you're using.
However I pronounce CUDA koo-da so cuq would be pronounced perhaps like kook.
Just go ahead and rename this project to "Rocuda", save everyone a lot of time arguing about what names are appropriate or not.
Step 1: Make sure no other programming language has the name you want.
Step 2: Make sure the name you want isn't a slur or rude word in all the languages your audience will write in. Be sure to check misspellings and homophones.
Optional 3rd step is to make sure the name lends itself to a cute animal mascot. For this project, I dunno maybe a corner chair is the mascot.

cuq takes the MIR dump of a Rust CUDA kernel and translates it into a minimal Coq semantics that emits memory events, which are then lined up with the PTX memory model formalized by Lustig et al., ASPLOS 2019.
Right now it supports:
* a simple saxpy kernel (no atomics)
* an atomic flag kernel using acquire/release semantics
* a "negative" kernel that fails type/order checking
The goal isn't a full verified compiler yet. It's a first step toward formally checking the safety of GPU kernels written in Rust (e.g. correct use of atomics, barriers, and memory scopes).
Happy to hear thoughts from folks working in Rust verification, GPU compilers, or Coq tooling.
