| # yue2.cpp, the native port of YuE2 (built for Windows with CUDA)
|
|
|
| The native port of YuE2 (yue2.cpp) built for Windows with CUDA, for Audante's own Windows receiver.
|
|
|
| ## What this is
|
|
|
| `yue2-cpp-windows.zip` holds the program (`yue-server.exe`), the tools around it (`quantize.exe` and
|
| the others), the port's own runtime (the `ggml` DLLs) and the licence texts. Unpacked, it is the engine of
|
| the model variant `yue2-gguf-cuda-windows` in Audante's catalog.
|
|
|
| ## How it was built
|
|
|
| From the source in Audante's own repository (`Audante/yue2-cpp-src`, the trees of the pinned commits of
|
| yue2.cpp and its ggml submodule), with `scripts/build-yue2-cpp.ps1` from the Audante repository: MSVC
|
| with the Ninja generator, the CUDA toolkit assembled from NVIDIA's redistributable archives
|
| (`scripts/build-yue-cuda-toolkit.ps1`).
|
|
|
| The build machine: Windows 11 mit NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (8 GB). The CUDA architectures: 86-real.
|
|
|
| ## Changes
|
|
|
| None to the source: the archive is the build of the pinned commits. The patch on the pinned commit
|
| (the UTF-8 code page on Windows) is part of that commit.
|
|
|
| **The CUDA runtime is not in this archive.** `cudart64_12.dll`, `cublas64_12.dll` and
|
| `cublasLt64_12.dll` come from NVIDIA's redistributable archives and are fetched by the receiver when it
|
| installs the engine (the addresses and checksums are in `redistrib_12.9.1.json` in `Audante/yue2-cpp-src`).
|
| NVIDIA allows these files to travel with the program. Without them Windows ends the program at the
|
| start with STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND (0xC0000135) and no message.
|
|
|
| **The port's own runtime is in this archive**: the `ggml` DLLs are part of Audante's build of the port
|
| (MIT), not a third-party component. Without them the program does not start either, with the same error.
|
|
|
| ## Licence
|
|
|
| MIT, as the port. See `LICENSE` for the text and `NOTICE` for the authors.
|
|
|
| The weights the program reads are a separate matter and are not in this repository: they are CC BY-NC
|
| 4.0 and live in Audante's own folders.
