1. The Headlines: What’s New (The Exclusive Bits)

• Compute Preemption Tier 3 (CPT3): Granular preemption at the warp-level (not CTA-level). Reduces latency for real-time AI inference sharing a GPU with graphics from 120µs to <15µs.
• HMM+ (Heterogeneous Memory Management): Automatic on-demand page migration between CPU (DDR5) and GPU (HBM3e) without cudaMemcpy. Zero-copy for unified memory on PCIe 6.0 systems.
• Deprecation of sm_70 (Tesla V100) JIT: Drivers will refuse to JIT-compile PTX for Volta after Sept 2026.
• New API: cuStreamWaitForGraph() – asynchronous graph dependencies without kernel launch overhead.
