Note: Starting with CUDA 11.0, the toolkit components are individually versioned, and the toolkit itself is versioned as shown in the table below. More information on compatibility can be found at. The CUDA driver is backward compatible, meaning that applications compiled against a particular version of the CUDA will continue to work on subsequent (later) driver releases. Įach release of the CUDA Toolkit requires a minimum version of the CUDA driver. For more information various GPU products that are CUDA capable, visit. Running a CUDA application requires the system with at least one CUDA capable GPU and a driver that is compatible with the CUDA Toolkit. Starting with CUDA 11, the various components in the toolkit are versioned independently.įor CUDA 12.1, the table below indicates the versions: Table 1.

The release notes have been reorganized into two major sections: the general CUDA release notes, and the CUDA libraries release notes including historical information for 12.x releases.
