Description:
At the 2024 X.Org Developers
Conference (XDC), Lyude Paul gave a talk on the work she has been doing
as part of the Nova
project , which is an effort build an NVIDIA
GPU driver in Rust . She wanted to provide an introduction to RVKMS , which
is being used to develop Rust kernel mode setting (KMS)
bindings; RVKMS is a port of the virtual KMS (VKMS)
driver to Rust. In addition, she wanted to give her opinion on Rust, and why she
thinks it is
a " game-changer for the kernel ", noting that the reasons are not
related to the oft-mentioned, "headline" feature of the language: memory safety.
