Nsight Compute 2024.3 - New Features

Added support for kernel profiling on the Microsoft Compute Driver Model (MCDM). Requires an NVIDIA display driver version of 565 or higher.

Fixed the calculation of peak throughput values for select pipelines on chips using the Ada GPU architecture, including the NVIDIA L20 and NVIDIA L40 data-center GPUs.
Re-enabled the target-side data collection for the Acceleration Structure Viewer on Linux (aarch64 and aarch64 sbsa), which was disabled in 2024.3.1.

Added the ability to use the ESC button to close the search popup in the views of the Source Page.
Disabled the Acceleration Structure Viewer on Linux (aarch64 and aarch64 sbsa) as the rendering view may cause a crash of the Nsight Compute UI. The functionality will be restored in a future version.

Added back the help documentation for command line parameters --set and --list-sets.

Fixed an issue with PM Sampling on Hopper GPUs that could cause the target application to hang during profiling.
Fixed an issue that caused CPU stack frames to not show up if stack frames could not be fully resolved.
Fixed an issue with the heights of the tables in the Metric Details window.
Fixed a possible crash of the Nsight Compute UI while preparing the information for the Source Page.
Fixed an issue that caused a failure when the request to save a partial profile report is canceled.

Added syntax highlighting support for section and rule files when open these as a new document. These documents now support edit, save (ctrl + s), text search (ctrl + f), zoom in (ctrl + mouse scroll down), zoom out (ctrl + mouse scroll up) functionalities.
In Source Comparison document, added synchronized horizontal scrolling support across both sides for frozen columns.
Added hyperlinks for section and rule files in the Metric Selection tool window.
Improved Inline Table source syntax highlighting.
The ‘Connect’ button has been renamed to ‘Start Activity’.
The ‘Connection Dialog’ has been renamed ‘Start Activity’.
Improved Progress Log window in Start Activity Dialog to show progress status of files being deployed to the remote host machine.
Added file menu options to Save Filtered Results and Save Selected Results from an opened report to a new report. Also added context menu option Save Results to save the selected results from the Summary Table or Raw Table to a new report.

Added support for exporting filtered results from an imported profile report to a new file using the -export and -import options together.
The -kernel-id option now supports regex for specifying the context id and stream id.
