Description

Fixes #3336.

Add PTX ISA 9.4 → CUDA 13.4 (13040) to the version lookup, matching the official PTX ISA release-history table.

A unit test checks the generated bindings' driver.CUDA_VERSION against the table, so a future release bump catches a missed mapping. It uses independent release metadata and fails with a reminder to consult the PTX ISA release history and update _ptx_utils.py.

Validation

• Fresh TestVenv build with CUDA 13.4: passed.
• TestVenv/bin/python -m pytest --noconftest cuda_bindings_13/tests/test_utils.py -q: 37 passed, 1 skipped. --noconftest avoids the unrelated GPU-context fixture on this host without a working driver.
• Removing the generated bindings' release entry in memory makes the new unit test fail with the intended message; restoring it makes the test pass.
• A minimal kernel compiled with CUDA 13.4 NVRTC emits PTX ISA 9.4, which now maps to 13040.
• pre-commit run --all-files: passed, including documentation link checking.

Checklist

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines.
• New or existing tests cover these changes.
• The documentation is up to date with these changes.

- Around line 76-83: important: **Validate the PTX 9.4 key.** This assertion
checks only that `(13, 4)` appears among the mapping values. A table with `(13,
4)` under a different PTX key and no `"9.4"` entry would still pass. Assert
`get_minimal_required_cuda_ver_from_ptx_ver("9.4") == 13040` or add `("9.4",
13040)` to the parameterized cases.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for mapping PTX ISA 9.4 to CUDA 13.4.

• Tests

  • Added a check that the current CUDA driver version is represented in the PTX-to-CUDA mapping.

The PTX-to-CUDA mapping now includes PTX ISA 9.4 mapped to CUDA 13.4. A test checks that the CUDA version derived from driver.CUDA_VERSION appears among the mapping values.

Changes: PTX version mapping

Layer / File(s)	Summary
PTX 9.4 mapping and coverage test cuda_bindings_13/cuda/bindings/utils/_ptx_utils.py, cuda_bindings_13/tests/test_utils.py	The mapping adds PTX ISA 9.4 to CUDA 13.4. The test checks that the driver CUDA version appears in the mapping values.
