TODO
Nsight Compute
- TODO Description
- When it reruns kernels for different tests, it restores the GPU state but not the host state. If this causes incorrect behavior, set
--replay-mode=applicationto rerun the entire application instead.
CUDA-MEMCHECK
- For checking correctness and discovering memory bugs.
- Example usage:
cuda-memcheck --leak-check full <application>
nvprof
- For profiling CUDA applications.
- No longer supported for devices with compute capability 7.5 and higher. Use Nsight Compute instead.
- Example usage to show which CUDA calls and kernels tak the longest to run:
sudo nvprof <application> - Example usage to show interesting metrics:
sudo nvprof --metrics "eligible_warps_per_cycle,achieved_occupancy,sm_efficiency,alu_fu_utilization,dram_utilization,inst_replay_overhead,gst_transactions_per_request,l2_utilization,gst_requested_throughput,flop_count_dp,gld_transactions_per_request,global_cache_replay_overhead,flop_dp_efficiency,gld_efficiency,gld_throughput,l2_write_throughput,l2_read_throughput,branch_efficiency,local_memory_overhead" <application>
