Note that the following examples are also possible to run with bazel, instead of dazel, but that requires the tools to be installed on your system.
The CUDA gdb debugger is an extension of the GNU debugger that enables debugging of both GPU and CPU code within the same application.
- To invoke the debugger, use one of the following patterns:
Nsight Systems, is Nvidia’s system-wide performance analysis tool.
Install the GUI-frontend on your local system:
sudo apt install cuda-nsight-systems-11-8
Invoke the profiler with a standard set of nsys parameters:
dazel run --config nsys //MY_TARGET
Run with customized nsys parameters:
dazel run --run_under `/usr/local/cuda-11.8/bin/nsys profile --MY_PARAMS //MY_TARGET`
Examine the last lines of the stdout log for the path to the generated .nsys-rep file and open it inside nsight-sys for analysis.
