Description

The test TMVA-DNN-LSTM-BackpropagationCudnn crashes on ubuntu2404 cuda-12.6.1 with cudnn with the following stack trace:

Specifically, it's the assignment in this loop:

root/tmva/tmva/test/DNN/LSTM/TestLSTMBackpropagation.h

Lines 149 to 159 in 9d876cd

	for (size_t i = 0; i < batchSize; ++i) {
	auto mat = XArch[i];
	for (size_t l = 0; l < (size_t) XArch[i].GetNrows(); ++l) {
	for (size_t m = 0; m < (size_t) XArch[i].GetNcols(); ++m) {
	mat(l, m) = gRandom->Uniform(-1,1);
	//XArch[i](0, 0) = 0.5;
	//XArch[i](1, 0) = 0.5;
	}
	}
	}
	}

Which triggers a cuda_memcpy to the GPU. The crash happens somewhere in the cuda library. Other cudnn tests work, so the problem is not necessarily a broken installation.
