(Creating a new post so as to catch wider attention) As per [RFC: Moving the CUDA target to a new package maintained by NVIDIA](https://numba.discourse.group/t/rfc-moving-the-cuda-target-to-a-new-package-maintained-by-nvidia/2628), `numba-cuda` packages are now available - please try them out in your environment and report any issues on the [`numba-cuda` issue tracker](https://github.com/NVIDIA/numba-cuda/issues) or post back here for further discussion.

Install with conda:

```bash
conda install nvidia::numba-cuda

```

Install with pip:

```bash
pip install numba-cuda

```

If all is well, there should be no perceptible difference between using the out-of-tree target (`numba-cuda`) and the built-in (`numba`) one, except you can observe where the `cuda` package is loaded from. By executing

```bash
python -c "from numba import cuda; print(cuda. __file__ )"

```

you would see

```bash
<site-packages>/numba/cuda/ __init__.py

```

with the built-in CUDA target, or

```bash
<site-packages>/numba_cuda/numba/cuda/ __init__.py

```

with the `numba-cuda` target.

A conda-forge recipe / package is still forthcoming.

In addtional to the suggest test based on file path, I have also tested both the conda package and pip package version of `numba-cuda` by removing some files under `numba/cuda/` then running the cuda tests. Everything works.

I can confirm that all tests with numba-cuda are passing for STUMPY!
