And in NVIDIA’s control panel (running locally), I have enabled and hit ‘Apply’ at least once.
However, I am unable to collect data via ncu here -
ac@Gigantamax:~/workspace$ sudo ncu -k "kernel_A" -o kernel_abc ./kernel_abc | tee out.txt
[sudo] password for ac:
==PROF== Connected to process 91491 (/home/ac/workspace/roofline-on-nvidia-gpus/example-codes/kernel_abc)
==ERROR== Profiling failed because a driver resource was unavailable or the user does not have permission to access NVIDIA GPU Performance Counters. Ensure that no other tool (like DCGM) is concurrently collecting profiling data. For instructions on enabling permissions, see https://developer.nvidia.com/ERR_NVGPUCTRPERM. See https://docs.nvidia.com/nsight-compute/ProfilingGuide/index.html#faq for more details.

==ERROR== Failed to profile "kernel_A(double *, int, int)" in process 91491
==PROF== Trying to shutdown target application
==ERROR== The application returned an error code (9).
==ERROR== An error occurred while trying to profile.
==WARNING== No kernels were profiled.
==WARNING== Profiling kernels launched by child processes requires the --target-processes all option.
I don’t have DCGM running (at least I haven’t done anything to run it). Can someone please help me figure out why this is happening?
