nvidia nsight systems что это

Новая технология от NVIDIA, Nsight

Недавно я обращал внимание читателей сайта к новой технологии NVIDIA, OpenACC, создав тему о ней. Теперь я создаю ещё одну тему, о Nsight.

Разрабатывайте для GPU в любимой вами интегрированной среде для разработки

Испытайте, насколько просто разрабатывать код для GPU, используя NVIDIA® Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition для Windows или Nsight™ Eclipse Edition для Linux и Mac OS.

Ещё одна новая технология от NVIDIA, Maximus:

Рабочие станции на основе технологии NVIDIA Maximus объединяют возможности визуализации и интерактивного проектирования графических процессоров NVIDIA Quadro® с высокопроизводительной вычислительной мощностью графических процессоров NVIDIA Tesla® на одной рабочей станции. Копроцессоры Tesla автоматически берут на себя выполнение фотореалистичного рендеринга или вычислений для инженерного моделирования. Это снимает нагрузку с ресурсов CPU для работы, для выполнения которой они больше всего подходят: ввод-вывод данных, запуск операционной системы и многозадачность, позволяя при этом графическому процессору Quadro осуществлять требующее высокой производительности интерактивное проектирование.

Конструкторы и инженеры теперь могут одновременно осуществлять автоматизированное конструирование, рендеринг или структурный анализ жидких тел на той же системе, которая используется для проектирования. А профессионалы по созданию контента могут быстрее редактировать видео, создавать эффекты и анимацию.

NVIDIA Nsight Systems

NVIDIA® Nsight™ Systems is a system-wide performance analysis tool designed to visualize an application’s algorithms, help you identify the largest opportunities to optimize, and tune to scale efficiently across any quantity or size of CPUs and GPUs; from large server to our smallest SoC.

Overview

NVIDIA Nsight Systems is a low overhead performance analysis tool designed to provide nsights developers need to optimize their software. Unbiased activity data is visualized within the tool to help users investigate bottlenecks, avoid inferring false-positives, and pursue optimizations with higher probability of performance gains. Users will be able to identify issues, such as GPU starvation, unnecessary GPU synchronization, insufficient CPU parallelizing, and even unexpectedly expensive algorithms across the CPUs and GPUs of their target platform. It is designed to scale across a wide range of NVIDIA platforms such as: large Tesla multi-GPU x86 servers, Quadro workstations, Optimus enabled laptops, DRIVE devices with Tegra+dGPU multi-OS, and Jetson. NVIDIA Nsight Systems can even provide valuable insight into the behaviors and load of deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow; allowing users to tune their models and parameters to increase overall single or multi-GPU utilization.

What Users Are Saying

Tracxpoint

We noticed that our new Quadro P6000 server was ‘starved’ during training and we needed experts for supporting us. NVIDIA Nsight Systems helped us to achieve over 90 percent GPU utilization. A deep learning model that previously took 600 minutes to train, now takes only 90.

Felix Goldberg, Chief AI Scientist, Tracepoint

NVIDIA

I used Nsight Systems to analyze our internal system and built a plan for optimizing both CPU and GPU usage, with significant performance and resource gains ultimately achieved to both. Overall, there is no alternative tool like Nsight which helps me to extract only, and exactly what I need to understand resource usage.
