Question

是否可以使用nvprof来计算CUDA内核执行次数（即启动了多少内核）？

现在，当我运行nprof时，我看到的是：

==537== Profiling application: python tf.py
==537== Profiling result:
Time(%)      Time     Calls       Avg       Min       Max  Name

是的，它可能。如果您不知道，可以使用documentation和命令行帮助（nvprof --help）。

nvprof：

的最简单用法提供了您所要求的内容

nvprof ./my_application

这将输出（除其他外）一个按名称列出的内核列表，每个内核的启动次数，以及每个内核占GPU使用率的百分比。

以下是一个例子：

$ nvprof ./t1288
==12904== NVPROF is profiling process 12904, command: ./t1288
addr@host: 0x402add
addr@device: 0x8
run on device
func_A is correctly invoked!
run on host
func_A is correctly invoked!
==12904== Profiling application: ./t1288
==12904== Profiling result:
Time(%)      Time     Calls       Avg       Min       Max  Name
 98.93%  195.28us         1  195.28us  195.28us  195.28us  run_on_device(Parameters*)
  1.07%  2.1120us         1  2.1120us  2.1120us  2.1120us  assign_func_pointer(Parameters*)

==12904== Unified Memory profiling result:

$

在上面的示例中，run_on_device和assign_func_pointer是内核名称。我链接的文档中也有示例输出。
