📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated source-build prerequisites to require CMake 4.0+, GCC 13.3+, and Python 3; CUDA 12.2+ and an Ampere-or-newer GPU remain required. CUDA 13.1+ builds also require cuTile packages.
  • Documented optional requirements for multi-node, multi-GPU tests and benchmarks, including x86_64 DiskANN dependencies.
  • Specified Go 1.22.4+ for Go bindings and Rust 1.85+ for Rust installation; regenerating Rust bindings requires libclang.

The build guide updates source-build prerequisites and lists optional test and benchmark dependencies. The Go and Rust installation guides add minimum language versions. The Rust guide also specifies a libclang requirement for binding regeneration.

Changes: Build and language prerequisites

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Source-build toolchain requirements fern/pages/build.md	The guide raises the minimum CMake and GCC versions and adds Python 3 as a prerequisite. CUDA 12.2+ and an Ampere-or-newer GPU remain requirements. CUDA 13.1+ builds require cuTile packages.
Optional test and benchmark dependencies fern/pages/build.md	The guide lists UCX and UCXX for optional multi-node multi-GPU tests, and glog, openblas, and nlohmann_json for benchmarks. On x86_64, DiskANN algorithms also require mkl-devel 2023, libaio, and Boost 1.87.
Go and Rust requirements fern/pages/installation/go.md, fern/pages/installation/rust.md	The Go guide adds a minimum version of 1.22.4. The Rust guide adds a minimum version of 1.85 and a libclang requirement for binding regeneration.

LGTM

Is this correct? @cjnolet @divyegala In my understanding we want to require CUDA 12.9+ at build time, and we support Volta+ on CUDA 12 and Turing+ on CUDA 13 (these requirements would then match cuDF, cuML, and other libraries).

[cjnolet]

I believe we support what the base rapids / cuda-x supports. If that's 12.9+ then that's what we should put here.
