I tried to profile my application with both NVIDIA Nsight Compute and Nsight Compute CLI (which Compute calls in the background).
They both give the same error:
==ERROR== Profiling is not supported on device 0. To find out supported GPUs refer --list-chips option.
And then:
==WARNING== No kernels were profiled.
==WARNING== Profiling kernels launched by child processes requires the --target-processes all option.
Note that NVIDIA Nsight Compute gives an error message which closes automatically. I was only able to read it trough screenshotting.
I tried using nvprof and it works just fine.
I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M (960M Series (Notebook)) and the latest drivers (471.41) and CUDA Toolkit (CUDA Toolkit 11.4 Update 1 or 11.4.1) and Nsight System (2021.3.1.54) and Nsight Compute (2021.2.1).
I am on Windows 10 (64 bits).
While I can use nvprof, is there any solution or cause to the problem?
