Writing a Rust GPU kernel driver: a brief introduction on how GPU drivers work See how GPU drivers work thanks to VkCube in this Rust-based series for the development of Tyr.

This second post in the Tyr series dives deeper into GPU driver internals by using the Vulkan-based VkCube application to explain how User Mode Drivers (UMDs) and Kernel Mode Drivers (KMDs) work together to execute GPU workloads: col.la/tyr2
