The event starts at 4:00 p.m. CEST with an open coffee chat. The presentation is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
Topic: Profiling and Bottleneck Analysis of AI Workloads with Nsight Systems
Speaker: Robert Dietrich, NVIDIA
Abstract: This session presents practical approaches to performance analysis of AI inference and training workloads using Nsight Systems. It covers essential profiling techniques alongside advanced features for capturing and interpreting system-wide traces across the full stack, including CPU, GPU, I/O, and network components. Through two demos, one focused on an AI inference workload and the other on an AI training benchmark; the session demonstrates how profiling insights can be used to diagnose bottlenecks and guide optimization efforts.
