Does cuda updates include base Cuda?

Question

This may be straight forward but I need to make sure to keep my sanity, does the Cuda updates include previous releases of the same version,for example:

Cuda 11.2 has 2 updates, if I install Cuda 11.2 update 1, will it install Cuda 11.2 or should I first install Cuda 11.2 and then Cuda 11.2 update 1, also if I install Cuda 11.2 update 2 will it include the fixes introduced in Cuda 11.2 update 1 or should install them both?

Answer 1

The "update" versions of CUDA 11.2 are full versions. e.g. if you download CUDA 11.2.1 or 11.2.2 you're downloading all of CUDA and don't have to also download 11.2. (You could also tell by looking at the download size: 2.8 GB, similar to CUDA 11.2 itself.)

In the past, there were some patch-like updates, IIANM, but not these.
