Loading libcudart.so here also does not appear to be tied to anything else. I do not see any direct API calls, and the host-side compilation appears to be done w.o passing the GPU binary to it, which would normally trigger generation of the glue code to register the kernels with CUDA runtime. I may be missing something, too.

Hi @tra, thanks for asking. Our reference implementation was done in Cling a while ago by @SimeonEhrig. One of his talks which I think describes well the big picture could be found here: https://compiler-research.org/meetings/#caas_04Mar2021
