May 2025 monthly summary for NVIDIA/CUDALibrarySamples. Key features delivered include: (1) Build system improvements for nvCOMP to ensure CUDA compatibility and per-example build organization; specifically, conditional enabling of GPU architectures 100 and 120 only for CUDA toolkit 12.8+ to maintain compatibility with older toolchains, and (2) per-example folder structure for nvCOMPDx demos with explicit runtime output and unique executable names to simplify usage and distribution. Documentation updates for NvCOMPDx and MathDx: README.md and API/docs updated to reflect nvCOMPDx integration, including download page and example categories. Build artifact reliability improved via CMake adjustments ensuring built examples end up in individual folders. The changes align with commits: ef34a8699ea285386caf4c7e381d1f924088965f, 8a6bad62f51be18759f72ce26f0c6cbc5ae2c866, 506d3472917b255d24468974e936773b9044fa0f, b514d44c00148df5c8a6b5765f5477b64fa47773.
