Backgrounds

  • Laptop: Dell Inspiron 7590 with GTX 1650
  • nvidia-smi with Driver 470.182.03 and Cuda Version 11.4
  • /usr/local has cuda-10.1, cuda-10.2 and cuda-11.2.
  • nvprof --metrics branch_efficiency binary.out returns 
    ======== Warning: This version of nvprof doesn't support the underlying device, GPU profiling skipped
    • it does show profiling result and metric result.

Solution

  1. Install Nsight systems from [1].
    • Select the version that matches your cuda driver.
      • As my cuda driver version is 11.4 and according to [2], i guess i need to install the one around 2021.3.2, thus Nsight Systems in 2021.3.1.54.
    • Execute .run file. 
      chmod +x NsightSystems-linux-public-2021.3.1.54-ee9c30a.run
./NsightSystems-linux-public-2021.3.1.54-ee9c30a.run
  2. Edit log permission.
