Can anyone tell me about any profiling tool for cuda which can be used on command line in ubuntu?? I am working on SSH secure Shell Client to run my programs on a remote linux machine.
If you have a normal cuda 5 install, the command-line profiler called nvprof should be available. Try typing nvprof at a command prompt to see if it's available and set up. But it's not a graphical tool like parallel nsight. (There is also the original command line profiler)
However, if you are connected from a linux machine to your remote machine running cuda, and you have a normal cuda 5 install on the remote machine, and you connect with X-forwarding (ssh -X or ssh -Y) you should be able to run the visual (graphical) profiler remotely. You do not need X to be running on the remote machine, but it has to be running on your local machine. After you connect with x-forwarding, just type nvvp in a terminal. Note that running the visual profiler this way can be slow due to the X-forwarding, so be patient. If you have the option to connect instead via something like NoMachine NX (or OpenNX on the mac) you will generally get faster performance when running nvvp remotely like this.
