Nsight Compute 2024.3.1 remote launch failed

Hi,

I’m profiling with Nsight Compute remotely.

My host is linux OS and the device is AGX Orin.

Please let me know if this is a bug or what?

Thanks!

My step:

1) sudo /opt/nvidia/nsight-compute/2024.3.1/ncu-ui

2) Enter device IP and password

3) Launch and failed

I also tried to use 2024.3.2 but there’s no ARM device for choosing.

Hi, @tnwilly


From the screenshot, it seems there is permission issue.

I know that but I’ve used sudo why still see this?

sudo /opt/nvidia/nsight-compute/2024.3.1/ncu-ui

Where do you run > sudo /opt/nvidia/nsight-compute/2024.3.1/ncu-ui

​Your host machine or the AGX Orin?

I run the command on my host, and want to profile remotely.
The target device is AGX Orin.

Please check if ncu has been copied to the Orin side under /tmp/var/
If yes, please run $ncu sample directly in Orin to see what happens.

I can see ncu under the subfolder of /tmp/var/.
Profile with it directly on AGX Orin works well.

So, what’s wrong will remote profiling?

Please try launch in host without sudo.
If this still repro, I will contact our AGX Orin test team to check

Test 1: From the host

/opt/nvidia/nsight-compute/2024.3.1/ncu-ui
==Warning== Insufficient privileges to launch app for profiling.

Test 2: From the host

sudo /opt/nvidia/nsight-compute/2024.3.1/ncu-ui


And also see the warning:
==Warning== Insufficient privileges to launch app for profiling.

Did you SSH connect to the root user ?

Sure, I do connect to the root.
