 connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Gaétan LepageI’d like to merge https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/484031 but I’m still concerned about whether the patch needs to be guarded by something — it shouldn’t since the compiler NVCC uses should always use the GLIBC from the default stdenv which should be the newest GLIBC, right? | 16:35:17 |
 SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Mind waiting until tomorrow, I'd like to take a look? | 17:20:39 |
 Gaétan Lepage | Sure SomeoneSerge (back on matrix), feel free to double check. | 22:35:32 |
| Gaétan Lepage | Indeed, I don't think so. | 22:35:43 |

 Robbie Buxton | In reply to @hexa:lossy.network
where can I find libnvidia-ml.so.1? This is a nvidia kernel library so if you aren’t on nixos you need to get it from where you install it on the host | 03:37:00 |
| Robbie Buxton | But looks like you found it! | 03:37:12 |
| hexa (UTC+1) | it is below the driverLink path | 03:38:20 |
| Robbie Buxton | Yeah on nixos iirc it’s symlinked into /run/opengl-driver/lib if I’m not mistaken | 03:39:39 |
| hexa (UTC+1) | correct | 03:40:14 |
| hexa (UTC+1) | addDriverRunpath.driverLink is the relevant attribute | 03:40:24 |

| Gaétan Lepage | After some testing, our current torch version (2.9.0) does build against cuda 13.0, but not cuda 13.1:
/nix/store/42f8i6v4gfkvdimy9aczwqik3scl6dpw-cuda13.1-cuda_cccl-13.1.115/include/cub/device/dispatch/dispatch_radix_sort.cuh(1425): error: no operator "+=" matches these operands
operand types are: at::native::<unnamed>::offset_t += const int64_t
end_offsets_current_it += num_current_segments;

 Benjamin Isbarn | I'm not using any overlay for that purpose right now. Good point regarding the global override, will do that ;). So the cudaCapabilities would affect packages like the cudart, cublas etc. I guess i.e. what features it will consider available and thus use? the in theory this should yield better performance for the aforementioned libraries? | 07:03:05 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Read https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#cuda -- Jetson isn't built by default and pre-thor uses different binaries so you need to make sure cudaCapabilities is set correctly; you'll get faster builds, smaller closures, and (possibly) better performance if you specify the exact capability | 07:36:40 |

 cameronraysmith | SomeoneSerge (back on matrix): let me know if the updates to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/488199 captured what you suggested. No rush: thanks! | 21:03:44 |

This PR should fix the last failing gpuCheck instance, i.e. python3Packages.triton.gpuCheck: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/488887
I discovered one of our beloved dlopen instance in triton. We didn't know about it since then... This PR fixes it too. | 23:39:42 |

| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Gaétan Lepage: there's a merge conflict and I need to rebase, but IIRC something like https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/485208 is necessary to make CUDA 13 the default.
I still need to do the same for the PyCuda PR I have: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/465047. Apologies that's taking me so long. | 18:56:11 |
| 12 Feb 2026 |
| Gaétan Lepage | Ok thanks! I should get a notification when you'll have rebased. | 07:52:34 |
