 ### Archived Update
 
+*Update on Dec 31, 2024*:
+- The kernel optimization starts with the volume integral kernels (see [TrixiCUDA.jl PR #102](https://github.com/trixi-gpu/TrixiCUDA.jl/pull/102)) and will extend to all existing kernels used in the semidiscretization.
+
 *Update on Nov 21, 2024*:
 - Due to the [issue](https://github.com/trixi-framework/Trixi.jl/issues/2108) from upstream with Trixi.jl and CUDA.jl in Julia v1.11, this package now supports only Julia v1.10. Using or developing this package with Julia v1.11 will result in precompilation errors. To fix this, downgrade to Julia v1.10. If you have any other problems, please file issues [here](https://github.com/trixi-gpu/TrixiCUDA.jl/issues).
