How to use NVIDIA profiler
Raw
nvvp.md

Usually, located at /usr/local/cuda/bin

Non-Visual Profiler

$ nvprof python train_mnist.py

I prefer to use --print-gpu-trace.

$ nvprof --print-gpu-trace python train_mnist.py

Visual Profiler

On GPU machine, run

$ nvprof -o prof.nvvp python train_mnist.py

Copy prof.nvvp into your local machine

$ scp your_gpu_machine:/path/to/prof.nvvp .

Then, run nvvp (nvidia visual profiler) on your local machine:

$ nvvp prof.nvvp

It works more comfortably than X11 forwarding or something.

My recommendation to anyone who wants to install nvvp on an up-to-date Mac (catalina) is not to even try.
Firstly you have to disable gatekeeper:
sudo spctl --master-disable
but then after you download nvvp it won't run because it wants an outdated java runtime (JRE) that's hard to get or install.
I still haven't figured it out.
Currently I'm trying to figure out how to do this, but it looks like it's very very painful.
