.. currentmodule:: cuda.core.experimental ``cuda.core`` 0.2.0 Release Notes ================================= Released on , 2025 Highlights ---------- - Add :class:`~ProgramOptions` to facilitate the passing of runtime compile options to :obj:`~Program`. - Add pythonic access to :class:`Device` and :class:`~_module.Kernel` attributes. Breaking Changes ---------------- - The ``stream`` attribute is removed from :class:`~LaunchConfig`. Instead, the :class:`Stream` object should now be directly passed to :func:`~launch` as an argument. - The signature for :func:`~launch` is changed by swapping positional arguments, the new signature is now ``(stream, config, kernel, *kernel_args)`` - Change ``__cuda_stream__`` from attribute to method. - The :meth:`Program.compile` method no longer accepts the ``options`` argument. Instead, you can optionally pass an instance of :class:`ProgramOptions` to the constructor of :class:`Program`. - :meth:`Device.properties` now provides attribute getters instead of a dictionary interface. - The ``.handle`` attribute of various ``cuda.core`` objects now returns the underlying Python object instead of a (type-erased) Python integer. New features ------------ - Expose :class:`ObjectCode` as a public API, which allows loading cubins from memory or disk. For loading other kinds of code types, please continue using :class:`Program`. - A C++ helper function ``get_cuda_native_handle()`` is provided in the new ``include/utility.cuh`` header to retrive the underlying CUDA C objects (ex: ``CUstream``) from a Python object returned by the ``.handle`` attribute (ex: :attr:`Stream.handle`). - For objects such as :class:`Program` and :class:`Linker` that could dispatch to different backends, a new ``.backend`` attribute is provided to query this information. - An :class:`~_event.Event` may now be created without recording it to a :class:`Stream` using the :meth:`Device.create_event`` method. Limitations ----------- -
