Nsight Compute Clock Speed During Profiling

[felix_dt]

You can find information on Nsight Compute’s clock control behavior in the documentation. It is expected that clocks are locked to their base value by default, which is relatively low on e.g. A100, to provide a controlled and deterministic environment for data collection. If you require a specific frequency, you can disable clock control in Nsight Compute and lock the clocks using nvidia-smi externally. Note that profiling without locked clocks can result in incorrect metric values.
