<h1>Updates in 2022.4<a class="headerlink" href="#updates-in-2022-4" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p><strong>General</strong></p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Added support for the CUDA toolkit 12.0.</p></li>
</ul>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Added support for profiling <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-driver-api/group__CUDA__GRAPH.html#group__CUDA__GRAPH">CUDA graphs</a> as complete workloads instead of as single kernel nodes. Enable this using the <em>Graph Profiling</em> option in the <a class="reference external" href="../NsightCompute/index.html#connection-dialog">activities</a>. Similarly to <a class="reference external" href="../ProfilingGuide/index.html#range-replay">range replay</a> results, selected metrics are not available when profiling graphs.</p></li>
</ul>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Added support for profiling on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). See the <a class="reference external" href="index.html#system-requirements">System Requirements</a> for more details.</p></li>
<li><p>Deprecated <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nv-nsight-cu</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nv-nsight-cu-cli</span></code> aliases are removed in favor of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ncu-ui</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ncu</span></code>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NVIDIA Nsight Compute</strong></p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>The <a class="reference external" href="../NsightCompute/index.html#profiler-report-source-page">Source page</a> now loads disassembly and static analysis results asynchronously in the background.</p></li>
<li><p>Added a new <a class="reference external" href="../NsightCompute/index.html#tool-window-metric-details">Metric Details</a> tool window to inspect metric information such as raw value, unit, description or instance values. Open the tool window and select a metric on the <em>Details</em> or <em>Raw</em> page or lookup any metric in the focused report directly in the tool window’s search bar.</p></li>
<li><p>In the Source page PTX view, the source name will be shown as a list of comma-separated files.</p></li>
<li><p>Added flexibility with NVTX based filtering in the <em>Next Trigger</em> filter, similar to the command line. Filters can now use nvtx-include and nvtx-exclude expressions by adding the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nvtx-include:</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nvtx-exclude:</span></code> prefix.</p></li>
<li><p>NVTX views now show the payload type.</p></li>
<li><p>Simplified the command line generated by the <a class="reference external" href="../NsightCompute/index.html#connection-activity-non-interactive">Profile activity</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>Reduced the number of steps required to re-run the <a class="reference external" href="../NsightCompute/index.html#connection-activity-non-interactive">Profile activity</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>The way to rename <a class="reference external" href="../NsightCompute/index.html#baselines">Baselines</a> in-place has been improved.</p></li>
<li><p>The <a class="reference external" href="../NsightCompute/index.html#tool-window-resources">Resources</a> tool window now shows the CUDA Dynamic Parallelism state for CUDA functions and modules.</p></li>
<li><p>OptiX traversable handles can now be exported as <a class="reference external" href="https://graphviz.org">Graphviz</a> DOT or SVG files for visualization from the Resources tool window.</p></li>
<li><p>All OptiX build, instance and geometry flags can be viewed in the <a class="reference external" href="../NsightCompute/index.html#as-viewer">Acceleration Structure Viewer</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>Added OptiX-specific highlight filters to the Acceleration Structure Viewer.</p></li>
<li><p>Added support for user-specified index strides to the Acceleration Structure Viewer.</p></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NVIDIA Nsight Compute CLI</strong></p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Added new option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--graph-profiling</span> <span class="pre">graph</span></code> to enable profiling of complete CUDA graphs as single workloads.</p></li>
</ul>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Added new option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--filter-mode</span> <span class="pre">per-launch-config</span></code> to enable filtering of kernel launches for each GPU launch parameter separately.</p></li>
<li><p>Added support to print section body item metrics on the details page with the new <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--print-details</span></code><a class="reference external" href="../NsightComputeCli/index.html#command-line-options-console-output">command line option</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>Added support to select what to show in Metric Name column on the details page with the new <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--print-metric-name</span></code><a class="reference external" href="../NsightComputeCli/index.html#command-line-options-console-output">command line option</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>Removed deprecated options: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--units</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--fp</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--summary</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--kernel-base</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>Added support to print launch, session, process and device attributes on session page with the new <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--page</span> <span class="pre">session</span></code> option.</p></li>
<li><p>Added <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--kill</span> <span class="pre">yes</span></code> support for application replay mode.</p></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Resolved Issues</strong></p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Fixed an issue that NVIDIA Nsight Compute could crash when continuing profiling after transposing the <em>Raw</em> page table.</p></li>
<li><p>Fixed an issue that caused closing a report document to be delayed by pending source analysis.</p></li>
<li><p>Fixed support for profiling applications with older OptiX versions.</p></li>
<li><p>Fixed display of OptiX module inputs for IR and built-in modules.</p></li>
</ul>
