Filter on partial kernel name with Nsight Compute

Question

I am trying to filter on a partial name when profiling kernels in my program using NVIDIA Nsight Compute 2021.2.1. I believe it has worked before to use substrings or regex to match more than one kernel. However when I try it now I do not get any results unless I either leave the field blank or write the full name..

How do I accomplish this through the GUI?

Answer 1

See changelog for version 2021.1:

• --kernel-regex and --kernel-regex-base options are deprecated and replaced by --kernel-name and --kernel-name-base, respectively.

• All options which support regex need to provide regex: as a prefix before an argument to match per the regex, e.g regex:expression

So you need to write regex:almostFullkernelnam in the field.
