There are a fair few failed tests from ‘test CUDA’ in the package manager.

Is this normal, or is this from a miss-match of driver and julia pagage?

Probably related to the amount of parallelism; see [Testsuite could be more careful about parallel testing · Issue #2192 · JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl/issues/2192). The test suite prints something about that at the start.

Thank you! The system is working for my code so I figured it was over-stressing it somehow.

FWIW, even with --jobs=1, tests fail in:

base/aqua (2) | failed at 2024-01-02T22:40:23.437

Also, on RTX 2080 Ti, Ubuntu 22.04, CUDA driver 12.2, CUDA runtime 12.3 ( artifact installation), Nvidia driver 535.129.03, Julia 1.10.0, CUDA 5.1.1

Final report is 1 Error, 9 Broken:

Aqua tests are for developers; failures with them are not to be worried about.

OK, thanks!

What about the 3 that are broken:

base/kernelabstractions  
base/texture  
core/cudadrv

Would you like me to print more info? (how?)

Broken tests are explicitly marked as broken by CUDA.jl developers, and are not relevant to end users. They are not test failures.
