Failure to download artifact: CUDA_Compiler

Hi everyone,

I am new to CUDA.jl and am receiving the following error issues when performing using CUDA on a GPU node of a Linux cluster.

srun: error: gpu001: task 0: Exited with exit code 1
srun: launch/slurm: _step_signal: Terminating StepId=7933552.0

Here are the steps I took to get to this stage:

From a fresh install of Julia v1.11.6, I added CUDA as a package and performed ‘using CUDA’ on the head node of the cluster (CPU). I then set the runtime version as follows

CUDA.set_runtime_version!(v"12.9")

I noted the relevant CUDA version by executing nvidia-sim in a bash script.

I then redid ‘using CUDA’ on the head node. This was successful and it downloaded the relevant artifact.

I then tried to run using CUDA on the GPU node. This is what fails with the error pasted above. Our GPU nodes are not allowed to access the internet, so cannot download the relevant artifact. I thought that the artifact had already been downloaded so I am not sure why it needs to do so again. Note that I tried specifying different CUDA versions above (e.g. 11.6) but got the same result.

Any help would be appreciated!
