Cuq Framework: Formal Verification of Rust GPU Kernels Targeting PTX Architecture
By

Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
Cuq is a research framework that provides the first formal semantics and verified translation for Rust GPU kernels targeting NVIDIA's PTX architecture. It bridges the gap between Rust's compiler intermediate representation (MIR) and PTX's formally defined execution model, enabling mathematical verification of GPU kernel correctness. The framework addresses the current lack of formal verification for Rust GPU programming despite the language's safety guarantees.
