Research direction
Investigate the current RNG implementation in CUDA.jl, specifically how kernel launches interact with the default RNG. Look at the RNG module in the repository (likely src/random.jl or similar). Propose a design for kernel specific RNG that does not affect the global RNG. Consider any existing PRs or comments in related issues.
