- when you query all possible metrics that can be collected using nvprof, one of them is:
" issue_slot_utilization: Percentage of issue slots that issued at least one instruction, averaged across all cycles"
what is an issue slot? Is it a hardware component in a scheduler, or is it a synonym for instruction cycle?
2.another metric is:
“stall_other: Percentage of stalls occurring due to miscellaneous reasons”
is there a way to find out what these miscellaneous reasons are? I got 46%, which seems to be really high ( or is it not? ). So it would be great if I can figure out what the other reasons are, and decrease the stalling.
- another metric is:
“stall_exec_dependency - percentage of stalled warps because the input is not ready”
this is talking about register dependency (i.e. when the input of an instruction is a register, which is the output of a previous instruction ), right?
Thanks
