Chapter 3. The CUDA Tool Suite
Profiling a PCA/NLPCA Functor
CUDA enables efficient GPGPU computing with just a few simple additions to the C language. Simplicity of expression, however, does not equate to simplicity of program execution. As when developing applications for any computer, identifying performance bottlenecks can be complicated. Following the same economy of change used to adapt C and C++, NVIDIA has extended several popular profiling tools to support GPU computing. These are tools that most Windows and UNIX developers are already proficient and comfortable using such as gprof and Visual Studio. Additional tools such as hardware-level GPU profiling and a visual profiler have been added. Those familiar with building, debugging, and ...
