Cuda Driver Release News Exclusive -

For : MANDATORY if you use MIG. The stability fix outweighs the 3% performance hit you will take in HPC sims. Looking Ahead: R560 Leaks Our exclusive CUDA driver release news pipeline continues. We have seen early staging branches of the R560 driver, which contains a flag called --kernel-mode-only . This suggests NVIDIA is preparing a driver that can run entirely in user space, bypassing the OS kernel entirely for AI workloads—a "micro-driver" to fight back against AMD’s ROCm and Intel’s SYCL.

"Addressed a vulnerability (CVE-2024-0XXX) where a malicious shader could read cross-process L2 cache residuals. Score: 7.8 High." cuda driver release news exclusive

Rewriting the scheduler explains the bloat: The new nvlddmkm.sys (Windows) and nvidia.ko (Linux) binaries are 18% larger than the previous version. This is not a maintenance patch; it is a foundation reboot. We obtained an internal draft of the full patch notes that NVIDIA chose to omit from the public release. Here are the most critical lines: "Fixed a race condition where cudaMalloc would return a null pointer if the system had been up for more than 49.7 days without a reboot on AMD Threadripper platforms."
