Summary #668 ("docs(examples): tma_multicast does run on consumer Blackwell", merged 2026-08-06) corrected the tma_multicast example on the strength of your RTX 5090 measurement: the sm_100a tma_multicast PTX JIT-loads and passes on an RTX 5090, so the "consumer Blackwell does not support TMA multicast" fallback text is outdated It fixed the two places it found — the module header and the runtime println! — and missed README.md entirely. That file still carries four separate assertions of the claim #668 removed, so the example's own directory now contradicts itself. My PR, my miss; filing rather than fixing blind because the second half below needs a call I cannot make. The four stale passages All in crates/rustc-codegen-cuda/examples/tma_multicast/README.md: 1.
