New Nsight Systems Report format

• Hardware Platform (Jetson / GPU)
RTX 5000, x86-64 RHEL
• Nsight Systems Version
2021.4
• DeepStream Version
5.1 (nvidia_deepstream:5.1-21.02-devel)
• NVIDIA GPU Driver Version (valid for GPU only)
470.57.02
• Issue Type( questions, new requirements, bugs)
Question
• How to reproduce the issue ? (This is for bugs. Including which sample app is using, the configuration files content, the command line used and other details for reproducing)
nsys profile --trace=cuda,cudnn,nvtx,osrt,opengl --delay=3 --duration=30 …/deepstream-app/deepstream-app -c deepstream_app_config.txt

The latest nsys CLI outputs profile results in a new format (report.nsys-rep) rather than the previous .qdrep output format. I can see the .qdrep intermediate file getting generated and then delted as part of the profiling of the application. How should we view this new format in the Nsight GUI? Is there any way to preserve the .qdrep file for export/sharing? I would like to run a profile of an application using nsys CLI and then transfer the profile output to a different system analysis using the Nsight Systems GUI

Also is there any way to pull the latest release of nsys CLI using command line? For example:
wget -O /root/NsightSystems-linux-public-2019.5.2.16-b54ef97.deb https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/NsightSystems-linux-public-2019.5.2.16-b54ef97.deb --no-check-certificate

I was able to fix this by ensuring the version of Nsight Systems Windows GUI matched the 2021.4 nsys CLI version I used for profiling on the remote system.

Can you provide a way to obtain the latest release via command line? For example:
wget -O /root/NsightSystems-linux-public-2019.5.2.16-b54ef97.deb https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/NsightSystems-linux-public-2019.5.2.16-b54ef97.deb --no-check-certificate

The 2021.4.1 version of Nsight Systems GUI is able to open .nsys-rep files. You can dowload the latest version from Dowload Center Nsight Systems

Are you using different versions of Nsight Systems to capture the report and a different version to view it?

Assuming that you are on an x86_64 machine with RHEL version 8, could you try:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel8/x86_64/cuda-rhel8.repo
sudo dnf install nsight-systems-2021.4.1

Is there a way to download just he CLI interface (nsys) for 2021.4? I am trying to install just nsys into a DeepStream Ubuntu container (from nvidia)

Please take a look at the section “Adding Nsight Systems to your Existing Docker Container” → “Dockerfile code example to add Nsight Systems to a Debian-based container image” on Using NVIDIA Nsight Systems in Containers and the Cloud.

For the CLI, on the latter apt-get install command you would have to replace nsight-systems-2020.2.1 with nsight-systems-cli-2021.4.1
