The System Trace activity is a special activity that connects to the Nsight Systems tool. See the Expected Workflow section to understand how Nsight Systems can fit into your profiling and optimization workflow.

When a compatible version of Nsight Systems is present on the system, the System Trace activity offers a connection to Nsight Systems to automatically populate a system trace activity on the external tool with settings from the Nsight Graphics connection dialog. This allows for easy saving of project properties in a singular location.

When a compatible version of Nsight Systems is not present on the system, the System Trace activity offers a convenient link to download the tool. Nsight Graphics must be restarted to discover any newly installed versions of Nsight Systems.
