MBFS CUDA Runtime Bundle

Self-contained, ABI-matched CUDA execution stacks for running ONNX Runtime on Windows with the CUDA / TensorRT execution providers. One folder per CUDA major version:

Stack	Folder	CUDA	cuDNN	ONNX Runtime EP	When to use
cu12	cuda_v12/	12.x	9	CUDA + TensorRT 10	sm_75+ GPU on driver R527+ (CUDA 12)
cu11	cuda_v11/	11.x	8	CUDA + TensorRT 8.6	Pascal/Volta (sm_60–sm_70), or any GPU on a driver capped at CUDA 11.x

Pick the stack matching your GPU and driver: a newer GPU on an older driver must still use cu11 (loading cu12 binaries fails with cudaErrorNoKernelImageForDevice). The MBFS Sentinel build auto-detects this — scripts/build_windows.py clamps the stack to the lower of the GPU and driver ceilings (override with --gpu-stack).

TensorRT engine-build libraries live in a companion folder, trt_v12/ (for the cu12 stack). These are the TensorRT 10 runtime + parser (nvinfer*, nvonnxparser) and the per-SM builder resources used when TensorRT compiles an engine. It is not a standalone CUDA stack — pair it with cuda_v12/ (whose onnxruntime_providers_tensorrt.dll is only the small ONNX Runtime ↔ TensorRT bridge). Unlike the CUDA folders, trt_v12/ is fetched selectively: a build downloads only the one builder resource matching the target GPU's compute capability (plus the always-included PTX fallback), not the whole ~2.8 GiB set. See Contents (trt_v12/).

Contents (cuda_v12/)

File	Component	Approx. size

cudnn64_9.dll + cudnn_*64_9.dll (7 files)	cuDNN 9	~1.4 GB

Total ≈ 2.3 GiB.

Contents (cuda_v11/)

File	Component	Approx. size
onnxruntime.dll	ONNX Runtime (CUDA + TensorRT + CPU build)	13 MB
onnxruntime_providers_cuda.dll	ONNX Runtime CUDA execution provider	223 MB
onnxruntime_providers_tensorrt.dll	ONNX Runtime TensorRT execution provider	<1 MB

cufft64_10.dll	CUDA 11 cuFFT	267 MB
curand64_10.dll, cusparse64_11.dll	CUDA 11 cuRAND / cuSPARSE	62 / 265 MB
cudnn64_8.dll + cudnn_{adv,cnn,ops}_{infer,train}64_8.dll (6 files)	cuDNN 8	~1.0 GB

Total ≈ 2.4 GiB. cuDNN 8 keeps inference and training libraries split (*_infer / *_train), unlike cuDNN 9.

All DLLs in a folder come from a single matched build — the ONNX Runtime provider DLLs are ABI-locked to that folder's onnxruntime.dll, so each set must be used together (never mix DLLs across folders or with another ONNX Runtime release, or the CUDA EP fails to load).

Contents (trt_v12/)

TensorRT 10 for the cu12 stack, split into core (always needed) and per-SM builder resources (one per GPU architecture). A build pulls the core plus only the resource matching the target GPU's compute capability, plus the PTX fallback — typically ≈ 1.0–1.7 GiB instead of the full ≈ 2.8 GiB.

Core — always downloaded:

File	Component	Approx. size
nvinfer_10.dll	TensorRT 10 core inference runtime + builder	432 MB
nvinfer_plugin_10.dll	TensorRT 10 standard plugins	53 MB
nvonnxparser_10.dll	ONNX → TensorRT network parser	3 MB
nvrtc64_120_0.dll	NVRTC runtime compiler (CUDA 12)	44 MB

Per-SM builder resources — download only the one matching your GPU:

File	Architecture	Example GPUs	Approx. size
nvinfer_builder_resource_ptx_10.dll	PTX JIT fallback — always included	(any, forward-compat)	488 MB
nvinfer_builder_resource_sm75_10.dll	Turing	T4, RTX 20xx	157 MB
nvinfer_builder_resource_sm80_10.dll	Ampere	A100, A30	256 MB
nvinfer_builder_resource_sm86_10.dll	Ampere	A40, RTX 30xx	241 MB
nvinfer_builder_resource_sm89_10.dll	Ada	L4, L40, RTX 40xx	254 MB
nvinfer_builder_resource_sm90_10.dll	Hopper	H100, H200	661 MB
nvinfer_builder_resource_sm120_10.dll	Blackwell	B100/B200, RTX 50xx	377 MB

Full set ≈ 2.8 GiB (4 core + 7 resources). Example single-SM footprint — Ampere A30 (sm80): core (532 MB) + PTX (488 MB) + sm80 (256 MB) ≈ 1.2 GiB.

The builder resources are only needed when TensorRT compiles an engine (the first run for a given model/GPU). nvinfer_10.dll loads the matching nvinfer_builder_resource_sm<cc>_10.dll from the DLL search path at engine-build time; the MBFS Sentinel build stages them under dist/lib/trt_v12/ and adds that directory to the process PATH. Once an engine cache (.engine/.trt) exists, the resource for that SM is no longer read.

Requirements

• OS: Windows x64
• NVIDIA driver: cu12 needs R527+ (CUDA 12.x); cu11 needs R452+ (CUDA 11.x). The CUDA Toolkit does not need to be installed — these bundles ship the runtime.
• GPU: see the support notes below.

GPU support

cu12

cuda_v12/onnxruntime_providers_cuda.dll is compiled with cubins for the following architectures (no PTX is embedded, so there is no JIT forward-compatibility to newer archs):

Compute capability	Architecture	Example GPUs	Native CUDA
5.2	Maxwell	GTX 9xx	✅
6.0	Pascal	Tesla P100	✅
7.0	Volta	V100	✅
7.5	Turing	T4, RTX 20xx	✅
8.0	Ampere	A100, A30	✅
8.6	Ampere	A40, RTX 30xx	✅
8.9	Ada	L4, L40, RTX 40xx	✅
9.0a	Hopper	H100, H200	✅
10.x / 12.x	Blackwell	B100/B200, RTX 50xx	❌ not native

For the TensorRT path the per-SM builder resources in trt_v12/ cover sm75 / sm80 / sm86 / sm89 / sm90 / sm120; older archs (sm_52/60/70) fall back to the PTX builder resource (JIT). Pick the resource by compute capability: sm = major*10 + minor (e.g. 8.0 → sm80, 12.0 → sm120).

cu11

The cu11 stack is the fallback for machines that predate CUDA 12: NVIDIA Pascal (sm_60) → Volta (sm_70), and any otherwise-cu12-capable GPU running on a driver that only supports CUDA 11.x. Use it when nvidia-smi reports a CUDA version below 12.0, or for Pascal/Volta silicon. For newer GPUs on a current driver, prefer cu12.

On a GPU outside the supported range, or with a too-old driver, the host application should fall back to DirectML (DmlExecutionProvider, requires DirectML.dll — not included here) or CPU. These bundles cover the native CUDA path only.

Usage

The MBFS Sentinel build pulls the right stack automatically (build_windows.py --gpu-stack {cu12|cu11} --cuda-source hf), including the matching TensorRT builder resource (--tensorrt-source hf, default). To fetch a stack manually:

# cu12 into ./dist/lib (lands at ./dist/lib/cuda_v12/)
hf download MBFSAITeam/cuda-runtime-bundle --repo-type dataset \
  --include "cuda_v12/*" --local-dir ./dist/lib

# cu11 into ./dist/lib (lands at ./dist/lib/cuda_v11/)
hf download MBFSAITeam/cuda-runtime-bundle --repo-type dataset \
  --include "cuda_v11/*" --local-dir ./dist/lib

For TensorRT, fetch the core + PTX + only your GPU's SM instead of the whole folder (example for an Ampere A30, sm80):

hf download MBFSAITeam/cuda-runtime-bundle --repo-type dataset \
  --include "trt_v12/nvinfer_10.dll" \
  --include "trt_v12/nvinfer_plugin_10.dll" \
  --include "trt_v12/nvonnxparser_10.dll" \
  --include "trt_v12/nvrtc64_120_0.dll" \
  --include "trt_v12/nvinfer_builder_resource_ptx_10.dll" \
  --include "trt_v12/nvinfer_builder_resource_sm80_10.dll" \
  --local-dir ./dist/lib
