    pip install nvidia-pyindex
    pip install nvidia-dlprof[pytorch] #For PyTorch
    pip install nvidia-dlprofviewer #DLProf Viewer
    
  • PyTorch installation
    conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch
    
  • Profiling PyTorch with nvidia_dlprof_pytorch_nvtx add the following lines to your PyTorch network
    import nvidia_dlprof_pytorch_nvtx
    nvidia_dlprof_pytorch_nvtx.init()
    

    You should also run the training/inference loop with PyTorch’s NVTX Context Manager with the following:

    with torch.autograd.profiler.emit_nvtx():
    
  • Training on GPU without DLProf
    python mnist.py
    
  • Training on GPU with DLProf
    dlprof --mode=pytorch python mnist.py
    
  • Sample DLProf terminal output
