Project mention: Learning Assembly for Fun, Performance and Profit | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-12
So I would say skill at GPU assembly is in-demand for the elite tier of GPU performance work. Not necessarily writing much of it (though see [1] for an example, this is the kernel of multisplit as used in Nvidia's Onesweep implementation), but definitely in being able to read it so you can understand what the compiled code is actually doing. I'll also cite as evidence of that the incredible work of the engineers on Nanite. They describe writing the core of the microtriangle software renderer in HLSL but analyzing the assembler output to optimize down to the cycle level, as described in their "deep dive into Nanite virtualized geometry" talk (timestamp points to the reference to instruction-level micro-optimization).

cuda-api-wrappers
Thin C++-flavored header-only wrappers for core CUDA APIs: Runtime, Driver, NVRTC, NVTX.
Project mention: Nvidia Security Team: "What if we just stopped using C?" (2022) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-13> with the C++ API
The funny thing is that the "C++ API" is almost entirely C-like, foregoing almost everything beneficial and convenient about C++, while at the same time not being properly limited to C.
(which is why I wrote this: https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/ )
> an awful GPU mailbox design is still the cutting-edge tech
Can you elaborate on what you mean by a "mailbox design"?
