Duration of an NVTX Range

Hello

Is there a way that I can use NVTX range to get the runtime of everything that is enveloped between the start and the end of the NVTX range?

For example,

…
nvtxRangeId_t tp_nvtxrange = nvtxRangeStartA(“cudaFree_71”);

myFunc();

nvtxRangeEnd(tp_nvtxrange);
…

The muFunc() above is a function with a mix of CPU and GPU activity. Meaning there is some CPU activity being performed with othr GPU kernels being called inside.

I am looking for a way to get the runtime of the muFunc() function using NVTX. Is there any property that NVTX range might have to hold the runtime of the myFunc() ?

According to the discussion in the following thread, I was suggested to use the “duration” of NVTX range. I am not quite sure what this duration is:

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1071606/nsight-compute-/getting-layer-specific-kernel-metrics-in-a-dl-application/post/5429905/#5429905

Does this mean that I use some standard C++ API to measure this “duration” of NVTX range? Or does NVTX has some sort of functionality to get this duration of NVTX range?

Please let me know!

Thanks
