Cuda Visual Profiler error -94 ? (WinXP32)

Hello,

I’ve been trying to execute correctly cuda Visual profiler for 2 weeks, but i still have the famous : “Error -94 in reading profiler output. Minimum expected columns (method, gputime,cputime,occupancy) not found in profiler output file.” at the end of the tests. I have already read many topics about this problem but i did not find the solution.

  • the profiler does not work with my application neither with Nvidia examples.

  • I’ve set argument “–noprompt” and max execution time at 60 seconds.

  • I initialized environment variables : CUDA_PROFILE =1, CUDA_PROFILE_CSV = 1

  • I succeeded to create cuda_profile.log by launching application with command line ( as explained in this post : http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=56816 )

this file contains following informations :

[codebox]method,gputime,cputime,occupancy

method=[ _Z10init_arrayPiS_i ] gputime=[ 27.584 ] cputime=[ 5.750 ] occupancy=[ 1.000 ]

method=[ _Z10init_arrayPiS_i ] gputime=[ 26.720 ] cputime=[ 1.218 ] occupancy=[ 1.000 ]

method=[ _Z10init_arrayPiS_i ] gputime=[ 51.904 ] cputime=[ 1.723 ] occupancy=[ 1.000 ]

method=[ memcopy ] gputime=[ 11.232 ] cputime=[ 36.847 ]

[/codebox]

  • I tried to put executable in the profiler directory.

  • during the profiling, i can see .cpj and .cvs temporary files appear but those files are deleted too quickly to be copied.

  • I’m using win XP32 pro with, Visual Studio Express 9 and my card is a GTX280. My CUDA Version is the 2.1 and the profiler is 1.0.11.

Is anyone in the same situation or has an idea about my problem ?

do i have to put Cuda visual profiler in a specific directory ?

thanks a lot !

I am having the same problem but on linux fedora 8 … :( … any help will be greatly appreciated …

Problem Solved … :rolleyes:

I think you are using CudaVisualProfiler 1.0 with Cuda Toolkit 2.1.

Please use CudaVisualProfiler 1.1 …

:) All the best

Yes, you’re right,I was pretty sure to have the version 1.1, but no …

Thanks for the help !
