Library maintainers should consult [NVCC Docs](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-compiler-driver-nvcc/)
and release notes for their software package.

## Adding a new CUDA release {#adding-a-new-cuda-release}

> **WARNING**
>
> This section of the docs is still very much in progress. Feedback is welcome in GitHub Issues tagging @NixOS/cuda-maintainers or on [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#cuda:nixos.org).

The CUDA Toolkit is a suite of CUDA libraries and software meant to provide a development environment for CUDA-accelerated applications, packaged in a multi-gigabyte monolithic installer. Since CUDA 11.4, NVIDIA has maintained CUDA redistributables (“CUDA-redist”): individually packaged components, meant to facilitate redistribution and inclusion in downstream projects.

All new projects should use the CUDA redistributables, as they are much easier to maintain and update.

### Updating CUDA redistributables {#updating-cuda-redistributables}

1. Go to NVIDIA's index of CUDA redistributables: <https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/redist/>
2. Copy the `redistrib_*.json` corresponding to the release to `pkgs/development/compilers/cudatoolkit/redist/manifests`.
3. Generate the `redistrib_features_*.json` file by running:

```bash
nix run github:ConnorBaker/cuda-redist-find-features -- <path to manifest>
```

That command will generate the `redistrib_features_*.json` file in the same directory as the manifest.

4. Include the path to the new manifest in `pkgs/development/compilers/cudatoolkit/redist/extension.nix`.

### Updating the CUDA Toolkit {#updating-the-cuda-toolkit}

> **WARNING**
>
> While the CUDA Toolkit is still available in Nixpkgs, it is not recommended for use and should be considered deprecated.
>
> However, to ensure packages relying on the CUDA Toolkit continue to build, the CUDA Toolkit will continue to be updated until a migration path is available.

1. Go to NVIDIA's CUDA Toolkit download page: <https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads>
2. Select the appropriate OS, architecture, distribution, and version, and installer type.

- For example: Linux, x86_64, Ubuntu, 22.04, runfile (local)
- NOTE: Typically, we use the Ubuntu runfile. It is unclear if the runfile for other distributions will work.

3. Take the link provided by the installer instructions on the webpage after selecting the installer type and get its hash by running:

```bash
nix store prefetch-file --hash-type sha256 <link>
```

4. Update `pkgs/development/compilers/cudatoolkit/versions.toml` to include the release.

### Updating the CUDA package set {#updating-the-cuda-package-set}

1. Include a new `cudaPackages_<major>_<minor>` package set in `pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`.

- NOTE: Changing the default CUDA package set should occur in a separate PR, allowing time for additional testing.

2. Successfully build the closure of the new package set, updating `pkgs/development/compilers/cudatoolkit/redist/overrides.nix` as needed. Below are some common failures:

| Unable to ... | During ... | Reason | Solution | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Find headers | `configurePhase` or `buildPhase` | Missing dependency on a `dev` output | Add the missing dependency | The `dev` output typically contain the headers |
| Find libraries | `configurePhase` | Missing dependency on a `dev` output | Add the missing dependency | The `dev` output typically contain CMake configuration files |
| Find libraries | `buildPhase` or `patchelf` | Missing dependency on a `lib` or `static` output | Add the missing dependency | The `lib` or `static` output typically contain the libraries |

In the scenario you are unable to run the resulting binary: this is arguably the most complicated as it could be any combination of the previous reasons. This type of failure typically occurs when a library attempts to load or open a library it depends on that it does not declare in its `DT_NEEDED` section. As a first step, ensure that dependencies are patched with `cudaPackages.autoAddOpenGLRunpath`. Failing that, try running the application with `nixGL` (https://github.com/guibou/nixGL) or a similar wrapper tool. If that works, it likely means that the application is attempting to load a library that is not in the `RPATH` or `RUNPATH` of the binary.
