warp serialization counter in cudaprof 3.0.21 missing?

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

Greetings,

I recently upgraded to cuda 3.1, now I wanted to profile some kernel using cudaprof.
I tried to find the warp serialization counter, but it seems to be gone.

Did I just miss it, was it renamed or is it really gone?

Thanks in advance!

edit: If it’s important: my device is a C2050 on 64bit linux

Its called L1 shared bank conflict now and is only shown when there are any bank conflicts. Btw the latests version of the compute prof (should be included in your 3.1 toolkit) is 3.1.1.

Thanks for the reply ONeill, I unfortunately didn’t see your reply until today, I have cuda 3.1 installed (verified with nvcc --version: says release 3.1) and visual profiler version is 3.0.21. Also, the kernel I currently profile should produce at least some bank conflict. I try reinstalling cuda 3.1, maybe it was recently bundled with a newer version of the profiler…

edit: As I was quite confused, why you called the visual profiler “compute prof” instead of cudaprof, I rechecked my directories and noticed that the visual profiler got renamed (but not uninstalled during upgrade). Now everything works as expected, thanks again!
