GPU Mini-Dumps with Nsight Aftermath
With Nsight Aftermath, developers can generate a “mini-dump” file from a live running graphics application that contains detailed information about the GPU pipeline. This information can be used to pinpoint not only where in the user code the faulting workload was launched, but vital data about the pipeline to understand why the exception was triggered. These “mini-dump” files provide debugging information for the immediate problem, and an artifact for tracking problem trends and patterns.
Application Integration
-
Nsight Aftermath can be integrated into user applications to allow for this important debugging information to be collected and processed by already established workflows and infrastructure (e.g. crash reporters)
GPU Mini-Dump Viewer
-
The “mini-dump” files generated by Nsight Aftermath can be loaded into Nsight Graphics for a rich visualization of the data.
