cuda-bindings 13.5.0 Release notes

Changes

• Many cuda.bindings.cudla and cuda.bindings.nvml enum members had a redundant prefix stripped from their name, e.g. nvml.BrandType.BRAND_GEFORCE is now nvml.BrandType.GEFORCE. The old, longer names remain available as backward-compatible aliases and will continue to work. The full list of renames, excluding the 447 similarly-renamed nvml.GpmMetricId members (which had their GPM_METRIC_ prefix stripped the same way), is below.

Enhancements

• cuda-bindings docstrings now include the full documentation from the upstream CTK, not just the first paragraph.

• For all cuda-bindings APIs, functions that accept a bytes object will also accept None, which is treated as NULL.

• For all cuda-bindings APIs, functions that accept a struct wrapper will accept the struct wrapper directly, rather than requiring getting the .ptr property.

• Creating wrapped structs (AUTO_LOWPP_CLASS) in cuda-bindings should now be faster in most cases, because it requires 1 heap allocation rather than 2.

Bugfixes

• A number of incorrect docstrings have been corrected.

Prerelease feature

A new version of the nvrtc API is available as cuda.bindings._v2.nvrtc. The primary improvements are: (1) raising exceptions rather than returning error codes, (2) uses PEP8-compliant naming, and (3) more performance. This API is still experimental and subject to change.

Known issues

• Updating from older versions (v12.6.2.post1 and below) via pip install -U cuda-python might not work. Please do a clean re-installation by uninstalling pip uninstall -y cuda-python followed by installing pip install cuda-python.

• nvml.system_get_process_name on WSL can return incorrect values. To work around this, set the locale to “C” before calling nvml.device_get_compute_running_processes_v3 (which sets the process names) and before calling nvml.system_get_process_name. cuda_core does this automatically, but users of the raw NVML API will need to do this manually.
