Overview

With the EOL of CUDA 10.0 announced in RSN 2, development effort has been redirected to support CUDA 11.0 in v0.15.

CuPy has released v7.8.0 with CUDA 11.0 support. We have temporarily built a version of the cupy package in rapidsai channel that has CUDA 11.0 support. In addition we have temporarily built faiss, faiss-gpu, libfaiss to support CUDA 11.0 in the rapidsai channel. These packages are a stop-gap until conda-forge provides support for CUDA 11.0. Once packages are up on conda-forge we will remove our packages.

NOTE: v0.16 nightlies will continue to use our v7.8.0 package for CUDA 11.0 until an update is made on conda-forge
