Description I monitored the memory footprint on the GPU when using the CUDA green context API . Observation Creating a green context increases the memory footprint on the GPU – this is expected. But when the green context is destroyed with cuGreenCtxDestroy(), the allocated memory on GPU is not /…

This maps to NVBUG 5668693. Thanks to our CUDA engineering team. This is fixed and verified internally with your producer to us. The fix will be targeting a future CUDA 13.3 release bundled driver series. Thanks again for reaching out to us. initial memory footprint=187 i=0 memory footprint=190 i=…
