Add compact reason labels for explain-mode tables while keeping canonical reason codes in the undecided summary. Emit a one-line legend only for non-trivial abbreviations. Refine interval displays so timing values align across table rows: - align Lo/Ce/Hi values in explain mode - align center values in intervals mode when some rows lack interval bounds - avoid repeating units when center and interval deltas use the same unit Add a Change column for non-legacy displays so FAST/SLOW rows show the signed interval-bound relative change, while SAME and UNDECIDED rows remain blank. Extend nvbench_compare tests to cover reason legend filtering, interval alignment, missing-interval alignment, and Change column formatting.
CUDA Kernel Benchmarking Package
This package provides a Python API to the CUDA Kernel Benchmarking
Library NVBench.
Installation
Install from PyPi
pip install cuda-bench[cu13] # For CUDA 13.x
pip install cuda-bench[cu12] # For CUDA 12.x
Building from source
Ensure recent version of CMake
Since nvbench requires a rather new version of CMake (>=3.30.4), either build CMake from sources, or create a conda environment with a recent version of CMake, using
conda create -n build_env --yes cmake ninja
conda activate build_env
Ensure CUDA compiler
Since building NVBench library requires CUDA compiler, ensure that appropriate environment variables
are set. For example, assuming CUDA toolkit is installed system-wide, and assuming Ampere GPU architecture:
export CUDACXX=/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc
export CUDAARCHS=86
Build Python project
Now switch to python folder, configure and install NVBench library, and install the package in editable mode:
cd nvbench/python
pip install -e .
