Which package for cuda

Hi,

I need cuda for some of my applications, and just realized that nvidia
has outsourced the cuda driver to another package. I could easily
download this driver and install it, however it would be great, if I
could use aur.

I have seen some packages containing "cuda" in the name, but the package
"cuda" just seems to be a meta package, which depends on cuda-toolkit
and cuda-sdk, which I don't need at all.

So is there any package I can install just to gain the possibility to
use cuda, but not to install the sdk (nor the toolkit)?

I hit the wrong button.

doesn't the package nvidia-utils provide cuda?

[ilcra1989@acheron ~]$ pacman -Ql nvidia-utils | grep cuda
nvidia-utils /usr/include/cuda/
nvidia-utils /usr/include/cuda/cuda.h
nvidia-utils /usr/include/cuda/cudaGL.h
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libcuda.so
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libcuda.so.1
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libcuda.so.190.29
