* Add support for upcoming NVIDIA Jetsons
The latest Jetsons with JetPack 7 are moving to an SBSA compatible model and
will not require building a JetPack specific variant.
* cuda: bring back dual versions
This adds back dual CUDA versions for our releases,
with v11 and v13 to cover a broad set of GPUs and
driver versions.
* win: break up native builds in build_windows.ps1
* v11 build working on windows and linux
* switch to cuda v12.8 not JIT
* Set CUDA compression to size
* enhance manual install linux docs
libcap is not directly related to Vulkan and should be added by its own PR. It adds additional library dependencies for building and also requires users to run setcap or run ollama as root, which is not ideal for easy use
This changes the memory allocation strategy from upfront estimation to
tracking actual allocations done by the engine and reacting to that. The
goal is avoid issues caused by both under-estimation (crashing) and
over-estimation (low performance due to under-utilized GPUs).
It is currently opt-in and can be enabled for models running on the
Ollama engine by setting OLLAMA_NEW_ESTIMATES=1. Behavior in other
cases is unchanged and will continue to use the existing estimates.
We prefer the nvcuda library, which reports driver versions. When we
dropped cuda v11, we added a safety check for too-old drivers. What
we missed was the cudart fallback discovery logic didn't have driver
version wired up. This fixes cudart discovery to expose the driver
version as well so we no longer reject all GPUs if nvcuda didn't work.
* Re-remove cuda v11
Revert the revert - drop v11 support requiring drivers newer than Feb 23
This reverts commit c6bcdc4223.
* Simplify layout
With only one version of the GPU libraries, we can simplify things down somewhat. (Jetsons still require special handling)
* distinct sbsa variant for linux arm64
This avoids accidentally trying to load the sbsa cuda libraries on
a jetson system which results in crashes.
* temporary prevent rocm+cuda mixed loading
