Profiling is not yet supported on CUDA WSL2. This is the latest update as of June 2020. See link -

Running nvprof with WSL 2 + CUDA + Ubuntu-18.04?

hi there, Thanks for using CUDA on WSL 2. We don’t support CUDA profiling tools yet in WSL 2 - this is one of the features we will be adding over time. I will update the limitations section in our docs to address this point. Also - note that NVML is not fully supported in WSL 2 either. Starting with CUDA 11, individual components of the toolkit are independently versioned (so nvcc might report a different version from say cuBLAS). Also - since R455 is a preview driver, it may report a version …

They should have updated the docs but I couldn’t find the updated documentation update either.

Edit: Actually found the documentation. See point 3 here - 1. NVIDIA GPU Accelerated Computing on WSL 2 — CUDA on WSL 12.3 documentation
