Nsight Compute on RTX 2000 Ada Laptop

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
1

I am developing CUDA code on a laptop. I am trying to run Nsight Compute to profile the performance of a program. I can run the software, but when I launch the profiler and step through the program, calls to kernels state “Error: Profiling is not supported on this device”. I think Ada is a supported architecture for Nsight Compute, so I don’t get why this is happening. Furthermore, Nsight System seems to run fine.

GPU: Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise
Version: 10.0.22631 Build 22631
Nvidia Driver Version: 552.74 Quadro/RTX (31.0.15.5274 in Device Manager)
CUDA Versions installed: 12.0 and 12.5
Nsight Compute Version: Version: 2022.4.0.0 (build 32048681) (public-release)

that version of nsight-compute (2022.4.xxx) is too old to use on a Ada family GPU. Try the latest version.

Ok I will try that and let you know. Thanks!

I was able to install the newer version of NSight Compute by downloading the latest CUDA Toolkit. That seems to have fixed the issue.

Thanks for your help.
