Nvidia Warp: A Python framework for high performance GPU simulation and graphics

I was playing around with taichi a little bit for a project. Taichi lives in a similar space, but has more than an NVIDIA backend. But its development has stalled, so I’m considering switching to warp now.

It’s quite frustrating that there’s seemingly no long-lived framework that allows me to write simple numba-like kernels and try them out in NVIDIA GPUs and Apple GPUs. Even with taichi, the Metal backend was definitely B-tier or lower: Not offering 64 bit ints, and randomly crashing/not compiling stuff.

Here’s hoping that we’ll solve the GPU programming space in the next couple years, but after ~15 years or so of waiting, I’m no longer holding my breath.

I’ve been in love with Taichi for about a year now. Where’s the news source on development being stalled? It seemed like things were moving along at pace last summer and fall at least if I recall correctly.
