Requires gpuwm 2.8.0 (gpuwm>=2.8.0,<2.8.1).
New
gpuwm-hex forecastruns on any NVIDIA card NVRTC can compile its kernels for: compute capability 7.5 (Turing) and newer on CUDA 13. This is the default, with no flag.- sm_89 (RTX 40 series, L40S) holds an anchor: the numerical contract measured on an RTX 4090 against sm_120, 123 records identical, with two named deviations. sm_86 and sm_89 hold anchors, sm_120 is the proven contract floor, and any other card runs unanchored.
- The preflight prints one line per card: anchored, with the evidence pin, or unanchored. Every receipt records the compute capability and the same status.
- On an unanchored card the forecast door measures the numeric route in one small compile and launch before the run, and records it.
gpuwm-hex doctornames the card, its compute capability and its anchor status.
Fixed
- A card whose architecture held no anchor was refused.
gpuwm-hex forecastnow refuses a card only for the reasons below. - The forecast driver, the x4 proof harness and sixteen tools no longer pin sm_120, which refused sm_121 and every newer part.
gpuwm-hex renderrefused every frame with "rw_wrfbatch produced no catalog rows" on gpuwm 2.8.0.- Every forecast's hour-0 frame published q2 = 0 and psfc = 100000 Pa in every cell, so the hour-0 2 m dewpoint map was drawn from zero humidity. The hour-0 frame now carries the start file's 2 m humidity (or the lowest model level's, bounded to saturation) and the model's own surface pressure. Later frames are unchanged.
- The tests find the package by its import name, so they hold in any layout it is installed in.
Still refused
- A card NVRTC cannot compile for (below compute capability 7.5 on CUDA 13): no kernel can be built for it.
- An unanchored card whose ordinary FP32 or FP64 arithmetic is not IEEE 754: every number the run produced would be wrong.
- A mesh whose predicted footprint does not fit the card's free memory: the run could not allocate it. The refusal names the shortfall and the registered meshes that fit.
- The two FTZ instruments and two tools held by a recorded byte pin refuse a part newer than sm_120: changing their bytes would lapse the pin.
tools/run_cuda_v841_forecast_2gpu.py(sdist only, no door) refuses below compute capability 12.0: two-GPU runs are not a supported path in this release.
