Developers can now use new cudaMemAdvise hints to declare memory access patterns across the coherent NVLink-C2C interconnect. This reduces page faults by over 40% in real-world applications like GROMACS and NAMD, effectively making the 512GB of CPU memory act as a near-transparent extension of GPU memory. This reduces page faults by over 40% in

For Linux users, the default installation now prefers NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules over proprietary drivers. This applies to Turing and newer architectures, while older GPUs (Maxwell, Pascal, Volta) still require proprietary drivers.
