SentryWard: open-source formal verifier for GPU kernels
Overview
Zhihao Jia and collaborators introduce SentryWard, an open-source tool that formally verifies GPU kernels against all possible execution schedules within a specified configuration.
The team says it detects deadlocks and data races, and that it can verify removal of unnecessary waits, yielding kernels up to 1.4× faster on NVIDIA B200 GPUs. The code is published at github.com/gpu-verifier/sentryward.
