Profiling Python with Nvidia NSight

Question

Does anyone know how to profile Python scripts with NVIDIA Nsight Systems?

I'm not sure what I would put in the Target Application field. I tried putting in the Spyder IDE (from Anaconda) and then executing my Python script from there, but I can't seem to import Tensorflow when I do that.

As soon as I import Tensorflow and use it, it tells me "no such module". It seems that the Spyder IDE that I open from NSight Systems is different from the one when I open it normally (without Nsight).

Answer 1

I solved this in windows using the answer from nvidia forum: So basically you should use a proper python environment and use the complete python directory like:

nsys profile C:\Users\beru\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe demo.py

By the way, this answer also helps me to know what to do for profiling python code using nsight system on win. I strongly recommend anyone puzzled by this read it.
