<span id="perf-analysis"></span><h1>Performance Analysis<a class="headerlink" href="#performance-analysis" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h1>
<p>NVIDIA Nsight Systems reports at the application level are highly informative. Metric sampling capabilities have increased over generations and provide a clean middle-ground between timing analysis and kernel-level deep dives with NVIDIA Nsight Compute.</p>
<p>Given the potential long runtimes of Large Languages Models (LLMs) and the diversity of workloads a model may experience during a single inference pass or binary execution, we have added features to TensorRT-LLM to get the most out of Nsight Systems capabilities. This document outlines those features as well as provides examples of how to best utilize them to understand your application.</p>
<section id="feature-descriptions">
<h2>Feature Descriptions<a class="headerlink" href="#feature-descriptions" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>The main functionality here:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Relies on toggling the CUDA profiler runtime API on and off.</p></li>
<li><p>(PyTorch workflow only) Toggling the PyTorch profiler on and off.</p></li>
<li><p>Provides a means to understand which regions a user may want to focus on.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Toggling the CUDA profiler runtime API on and off:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Allows users to know specifically what the profiled region corresponds to.</p></li>
<li><p>Results in smaller files to post-process (for metric extraction or similar).</p></li>
</ul>
<p>(PyTorch workflow only) Toggling the PyTorch profiler on and off:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Help users to analysis the performance breakdown in the model.</p></li>
<li><p>Results in smaller files to post-process (for metric extraction or similar).</p></li>
</ul>
