When bulk sample or frequency sources are present, do not silently fall back to summary SM clock confirmation if the bulk cycle data cannot be used. Report the clear-gap decision as AMBG with a bulk_cycle_data_unusable reason instead. Still allow summary-clock fallback when no bulk sample/frequency sources are present. Also update the Unknown summary label to describe the broader set of input-data failures now counted as UNKNOWN.
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 .
Verify that package works
