GPU acceleration is now routine across robotics, but cloud-hosted GPU continuous integration (CI) runners are expensive, resulting in severe under-testing of GPU-accelerated code. We present pytest-gpu-proof, an open-source pytest plugin offering a practical middle ground. Tests can be run on a local machine, signed with a receipt of exactly what ran and what it produced, and integrated into standard CPU CI workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions). The tool is open source and on PyPI, and we are actively integrating it across our lab's software stack.
This work introduces Backline, a heterogeneous compilation and runtime framework built within PennyLane and Catalyst that allows researchers to write workloads in high-level languages that map to low-latency execution across diverse distributed target platforms, and demonstrates the compilation and execution of several...

We propose PKDB, the first interactive debugger for GPU and multithreaded low-level kernels written in Python. Python is widely used in high performance computing (HPC), with frameworks such as PyKokkos translating Python-embedded domain-specific languages to native code that runs across OpenMP-threaded CPUs and variou...

This paper presents an OpenMP-style parallelism API for Uxntal, the stack-based assembly-style language for the Uxn platform, and demonstrates that exemplar code using this API can run at comparable performance even on an integrated GPU.
