| Do we agree that pytorch got their upper bounds wrong? https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/v2.11.0/torch/utils/cpp_extension.py#L75 https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/12.9.1/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#host-compiler-support-policy GCC 14.x should be supported with cuda 12.9 | 14:46:42 | |
Also, it's unclear why this only blows up in torchvision and not in torch itself... | 14:48:33 | |

This one only took me 4 days 🚀 I hope it doesn't break too many things 🥸 | 23:34:55 | |

| Update, indeed, they messed it up: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/commit/39565a7dcf8f93ea22cedeaa20088b24ff6d2634 | 10:29:17 | |

| The proposal serge linked is the closest thing I’m aware of to any attempt to standardize | 14:27:46 | |

| Is there anything we need to get in for https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/504935? I know I should package cutile and the triton cutile backend stuff :/ | 14:29:14 | |

| Who's reviewing driver-related PRs usually? I'm not familiar at all with this part of the code base :/ | 15:36:46 | |
| Yet to check the link, but generally Kiskae is the driver guru | 15:53:44 | |

In reply to @ccicnce113424:matrix.orgNVIDIA transitioned to zstd compression starting with version 530.30.02 three years ago, yet the build dependencies were never updated to reflect this. Consequently, driver extraction has been relying on the bsdtar fallback for three years—an oversight that has gone completely unnoticed until now. | 19:28:44 | |

| Okay I started packaging cuda_tileiras and cuda-tile | 14:56:35 | |
Does... does tileiras use dlopen with relative paths to find libnvvm.so 😱 | 15:08:03 | |
| Also, can someone explain https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/redist/cuda_compat_orin/ to me? If I had to hazard a guess, it would be that it would allow using CUDA 13.1/13.2 on a Jetson based on JetPack 7 (since support for Orin is added in JetPack 7.2, but that hasn't been released yet as far as I can tell, though it is talked about in the CUDA 13.2 blog post: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/cuda-13-2-introduces-enhanced-cuda-tile-support-and-new-python-features/#embedded_devices). Is that correct? Or does it allow forward compat across major versions and can be used with JetPack 6, similar to how cuda_compat for Orins on JetPack 5 allows support for up to CUDA 12.2 despite shipping with CUDA 11.4. | 15:19:07 | |
| Unrelated, but I'm getting errors with the nix-required-mounts hook, maybe I'm just on a bad commit:
Using commit https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commits/8110df5ad7abf5d4c0f6fb0f8f978390e77f9685 of Nixpkgs. I remember something about JSON derivation format change but I can't remember for the life of me if we already fixed that. Previous commit was https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commits/a6531044f6d0bef691ea18d4d4ce44d0daa6e816. | 15:49:56 | |
| Interesting, I'm facing another error: | 15:56:06 | |
In reply to @connorbaker:matrix.orgI don't deal with Jetpack but the general idea is it allows using a newer CUDA Toolkit, than the driver in the BSP would otherwise support - that mapping is a bit fuzzy though. | 17:46:54 | |
In reply to @connorbaker:matrix.orgThis one is specific to Jetson Orin, the other cuda_compat provides forward compatibility for x86_64 server, arm64 server, Jetson Thor, etc | 17:48:59 | |

| Neat project! Some quotes from the conclusions:
