Trouble using nsight systems for profiling CUDA in Julia

[JamieMair]

The CUDA.jl documentation suggests that we launch profiling with

nsys launch julia

But this results with "program not found: julia" so I have to specify the path manually:

nsys launch C:\Users\...\julia.exe

Once the path is fully specified it launches, but the profiling immediately ends with

application launched
Required property not found

Is this happening to others on Windows? I was able to launch profiling through the GUI running a script, but it would be much better to have an interactive experience and only profile part of the program. Is there any advice on this?

System Info:
Julia version: 1.9.0-beta4 (via Juliaup)
OS: Windows 11
NVIDIA Driver: 527.37
CUDA Version: 12.0
NVIDIA Nsight Systems version: 2022.5.1.82-32078057v0

application launched
Required property not found

Are those the exact errors? I don't find anything relevant Googling them. In any case, no I haven't run into this, and I haven't seen reports of other users encountering these issues.

Unfortunately yes, this is the only output from nsys, I also had no luck finding any other similar errors/situations online

I think your best bet is to file a bug with NVIDIA, they are typically very responsive as long as you provide a good reproducer. So a MWE where you download beta4 from a tarball and use the latest nsys would be best (i.e., no use of juliaup, no use of CUDA.jl, etc).

Going to close this as this does seem like an upstream issue.
