CUDA 12.6 Release?

[JWhitleyAion]

Nvidia JetPack for Jetson devices is currently only available in v6.0 (CUDA 12.2.2) and v6.2 (CUDA 12.6.10). Is there any plan to release a pre-compiled version for CUDA 12.6?

Also, amazing work on these projects. Your continued development is greatly appreciated by the whole community.

CUDA supports forward-compatibility, and you can run the binary built with CUDA 12.5 on a system with CUDA 12.5 or later. So, I think ros-noetic-glim-ros-cuda12.5 should work on JetPack 6.2.

Meanwhile, I think I will add binaries for CUDA 12.6 for build tests in the latest environment.

Thanks for the quick response! However, I encountered an error related to thrust (something similar to "could not find a CUDA kernel available") when running on CUDA 12.6. Should I make a separate issue for this instead or should I provide details here?

Hmmm, I'll try it on my Jetson Orin Nano with JetPack 6.2. It would be helpful if you could share the detailed log here.

So, for clarification, we are using a somewhat unconventional configuration. We are running in a Docker container based on nvcr.io/nvidia/cuda:12.6.3-cudnn-devel-ubuntu24.04 which then runs on top of JetPack 6.2. Could you provide which version of TBB you used to compile gtsam and gtsam_points? It might be a version mismatch issue.

The provided binaries are built without TBB. I confirmed that ros-noetic-glim-ros-cuda12.5 worked on my Jetson Orin nano with JetPack 6.2. So, I'm guessing there may be some issues related to docker (failing to expose GPU to the docker image?).
