Release Notes

Release notes and known issues.

1. Known Issues

  • The Visual Studio 2017 redistributable is not automatically installed by the NVIDIA Nsight Compute installer. The workaround is to install the x64 version of the 'Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017' manually. The installer is linked on the main download page for Visual Studio at https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ or download directly from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572.
  • No support for attaching to child launches (as required for the MPI workflow) Will be enabled in one of the next releases.
  • Launching applications on remote targets/platforms is not yet supported. Manually launch the application using command line nv-nsight-cu-cli --mode=launch on the remote system and connect using the UI afterwards.
  • Real texture traffic is not captured in First-Level Cache table yet. Necessary metrics will be added to PerfWorks soon.
