This page infers that CUDA 8.0 is comming soon,
with new Pascal architecture support and better
Deep Learning support and some other features updated.

According to the current official information available
about CUDA 8.0, I think it is worthy inform you several
points, as follows.

1. it requires nvidia driver 361.X or higher, which has
   pascal architecture support too.

2. it ships a new library nvGRAPH (libnvgraph)

3. 2X faster NVCC compilation speed, package maintainers
   who depend on the CUDA toolkit will get happy about it.
   (NVCC compilation is really slow especially when CUDA_ARCH=all)

BTW, do you know what happend to the nvidia-graphics-driver/355
package and nvidida-cuda-toolkit/7.5.18 package in the NEW queue?
