when ctrl+C to kill my program,i will get the following messages:
“==28033== Error: Internal profiling error 4087:15.”

using “nvprof --profile-child-processes --timeout 60 --kernels “ewMulti” ./start_cmd.sh” to solve this error,i will get this:

==27893== Execution timeout, stopping the application…
==27893== Profiling application: ./BTMiner_NebuTech -url btm.f2pool.com:9221 -user bm1qj3v6qfj7dn9glgrp3aretgn6tcwdrm9n8ujla6 -RUN

Hi,

Does your script (start_cmd.sh) launch multiple processes or only a single process?
Note that nvprof cannot profile processes that fork() but do not then exec().
[url]Profiler :: CUDA Toolkit Documentation

Does your app run infinitely, unless you kill it?
Can you try running nvpof without timeout and see if you get the profiling data?
