Profiling Options

Hello,

I would like to profile mixed CPU-GPU applications on Xavier. These applications will be multithreaded C++ programs and will use both CUDA and OpenGL at the same time. I will certainly give the NSight suite of profilers a shot but I was wondering if ARM DS-5 would work with Xavier. I will be using an Ubuntu host.

Thank you!

Hi,

Xavier CPU is not A57 but carmel which is our own CPU.
It’s recommended to use our NVIDIA Nsight Systems to profile CPU and system instead.

Thanks.

That’s what I thought but just wanted to make sure. The reason I asked this question was because of this post: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1047105/jetson-agx-xavier/jetson-agx-compatible-lauterbach-debugger/

It seems to say DS-5 can be used with Xavier. Could you please clarify?

Thank you!

Hi,

ARM DS-5 Debugger is a third-patry library but you can still give it a try.

To get a better support, it’s recommended to use NVIDIA Nsight System instead.
We have verified it for the Jetson platform.

Thanks.
