The NVIDIA Volta platform is the last architecture on which these tools are fully supported. Note that Visual Profiler and nvprof will be deprecated in a future CUDA release. The nvprof profiling tool enables you to collect and view profiling data from the command-line.
The Visual Profiler is a graphical profiling tool that displays a timeline of your application’s CPU and GPU activity, and that includes an automated analysis engine to identify optimization opportunities. This document describes NVIDIA profiling tools that enable you to understand and optimize the performance of your CUDA, OpenACC or OpenMP applications.
