is there any up to date documentation on how to use cuda properly? I find rather conflicting information and stumble accross new information whenever I google.

My Opensycl project seems to require 11.5 or earlier, while 10 would be in the common nixpkgs I thought I'd ask before going with that.

I remember enabling ZRAM partly because of that. And I’m pretty sure they were all zero pages too, because they compressed to absolutely nothing lmao

Just use cudaPackages_11_5. Start ad hoc, building only opensycl against it. If you wish to rebuild the whole package set, use an overlay.

I seem to be too dumb to figure this out.

I use this flake:

{
  description = "Needleman Wunsch Sycl implementation";
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs";
    systems.url = "github:nix-systems/default";
    flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
  };

  outputs =
    { self
    , systems
    , nixpkgs
    , flake-utils
    }:
    flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem
      (system:
      let
        pkgs = (import nixpkgs {
          system = system;
          config = {
            cudaPackages = pkgs.cudaPackages_11_5;
            cudaForwardCompat = true;
            cudaCapabilities = [ "7.5" ];
            cudaSupport = true;
            allowUnfree = true; # Enable unfree software
          };
        });
      in
      {
        # overlay = overlay;
        devShells.default = import ./shell.nix { inherit pkgs; };
        packages = {
          default = pkgs.callPackage ./package.nix { inherit pkgs; };
          sycl = pkgs.callPackage ./opensycl.nix { inherit pkgs; };
        };
      });
}

and expect both the shell and the sycl package to use the correct version, this clearly is not the case though. I expect that I can set it the way the documentation leads me to believe for the sycl package, as I use the callPackage function, but how would I do the same for the shell?

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> }:

with pkgs;
mkShell {
  buildInputs = [
    (callPackage ./opensycl.nix { })
    gnumake
    gdb

    lld
    cudaPackages.cudatoolkit
    linuxPackages.nvidia_x11
    opencl-headers
    pkg-config
  ];
...

sorry if this is too incoherent or stupid to begin with

Should work this time: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/323056
Can I bum a nixpgks-review? xD

In reply to @matthewcroughan:defenestrate.it
they removed the .6 from the release
