CUDA Enhanced Compatibility
Overview
RAPIDS 21.12 packages will be built using the latest 11.5 version of nvcc and the CUDA runtime and distributed for use with any CUDA driver >=450.80.02 via the use of CUDA Enhanced Compatibility. We strongly recommend using the CUDA 11.5 runtime. Any runtime >=11.0 and <11.5 is supported on a best-effort basis.
Impact
One limitation this poses for users running older minor versions of the CUDA runtime is that the use of debug=True with the numba @cuda.jit decorator will result in a runtime error. Users running 11.5 will still be able to use debug=True.
