## Usage Examples

### Filter Options

Note that examples will use the term workload to refer to either kernels, graphs, ranges or cmdlists unless stated otherwise.

1. Profile first two workloads

   `--launch-count 2`

2. Profile first two workloads launched on device with device ID 1

   `--device 1 --launch-count 2`

3. Profile 2nd workload on each gpu

   `--launch-skip 1 --launch-count 1 --filter-mode per-gpu`

4. Skip first 2 workloads of each launch configuration before profiling

   `--launch-skip 2 --filter-mode per-launch-config`

5. Profile “Bar” kernel

   `--kernel-name Bar`

6. Profile kernels which have “Bar” in function name

   `--kernel-name regex:Bar`

7. Profile only 2nd invocation of kernel “Foo”

   `--kernel-id ::Foo:2`

8. Profile only 2nd invocation of all kernels which have “Bar” in name

   `--kernel-id ::regex:Bar:2`

9. Skip first 2 workloads before matching “Foo” or “Bar” in kernel names

   `--launch-skip-before-match 2 --kernel-name regex:“Foo|Bar”`

10. Profile all 7th kernel invocations with mangled name “_FooBar” on CUDA context ID 1 and stream ID 2

    `--kernel-id 1:2:_Foobar:7 --kernel-name-base mangled`

11. Profile only 7th invocation of kernel “Foo”, irrespective of context ID and stream ID

    `--kernel-id ::Foo:7`

12. Profile every 7th invocation of kernel “Foo” launched on stream ID 1 and NVTX stream name “cuda_stream”, irrespective of context ID

    `--kernel-id :1|cuda_stream:Foo:7 --nvtx`

13. Profile all workloads launched in first 3 cu(da)ProfilerStart/Stop APIs created ranges

    `--range-filter :[1-3]:`

14. Profile all workloads launched in 2nd NVTX Push/Pop range A

    `--range-filters ::2 --nvtx --nvtx-include A/`

15. Profile all workloads launched in NVTX Push/Pop range A except the ones in NVTX Push/Pop range B

    `--nvtx --nvtx-include A/ --nvtx-exclude B/`

16. Profile all “Foo” kernels except those launched in NVTX Push/Pop range B

    `--nvtx --nvtx-exclude B/ --kernel-name Foo`

17. Profile all workloads launched in 2nd NVTX Start/End range A inside 2nd cu(da)ProfilerStart/Stop APIs created range

    `--range-filter yes:2:2 --nvtx --nvtx-include A`

18. Profile all workloads launched in 1st NVTX Push/Pop range A inside both 1st and 2nd cu(da)ProfilerStart/Stop APIs created range

    `--range-filter yes:[1-2]:1 --nvtx --nvtx-include A/`

19. Profile all workloads launched in 1st cu(da)ProfilerStart/Stop APIs created range with 2nd NVTX push/pop range A and domain D

    `--range-filter no:1:2 --nvtx --nvtx-include D@A/`
