Description
Deep Learning Profiler (DLProf) is a tool for profiling deep learning models to help data scientists understand and improve performance of their models visually via Tensorboard or by analyzing text reports. It also helps understand resource usage when models are trained.
Driver Requirements
Release 20.01 is based on NVIDIA CUDA 10.2.89, which requires NVIDIA Driver release 440.30.01. However, if you are running on Tesla (for example, T4 or any other Tesla board), you may use NVIDIA driver release 396, 384.111+, 410, 418.xx, or 440.30. The CUDA driver's compatibility package only supports particular drivers. For a complete list of supported drivers, see the CUDA Application Compatibility topic. For more information, see CUDA Compatibility and Upgrades.
New Features
The key features of DLProf v0.8.0 / r20.01 are:
- Released in the TensorFlow 20.01 NGC container
