Profiler analysis view, no chart, no memory latency analysis

Developer Tools Other Tools Visual Profiler and nvprof

Hi, I am new to CUDA and am learning to analyze data latency with the profiler.

My system is Ubuntu, CUDA 11.0, GTX 1060 which uses the Pascal Architecture.

After running “nvvp matrix_transpose.prof”:

While in the analysis view, I go to “CUDA Application analysis” → “Performance-Critical Kernels”, from there I see that “Perform Kernel Analysis” is Greyed out. Also, when I go to “Perform Additional analysis”, which is not greyed out, nothing happens. I was looking for the chart that shows memory latency.

Also, I can not get to a stage where I can examine Latency or Memory Bandwidth.

I realize that the new Nsight Systems CLI is what is being recommended but I did try it but found in the docs that the Pascal architecture is unsupported.

Thank You
Tom

Hi,

How did you generate the report matrix_transpose.prof? It appears that .prof file is generated using the nvprof. To view the analysis sections in Visual Profiler, please use the command

$nvprof --analysis-metrics <application>

nvprof switch --analysis-metrics collects profiling data that can be imported in the Visual Profiler’s analysis sections. Alternate is to run and profile the application using Visual Profiler directly.
