Updates in 2025.3

General

• Added support for CUDA 13.0. See the tool’s CUDA driver system requirements.

• Added or improved support for Blackwell chips.

• For Green Context launches, launch__waves_per_multiprocessor is now scaled to the number of SMs in the Green Context.

• Added support for profiling individual nodes of device-launchable CUDA graphs launched from the host.

• Added metric launch__persisting_l2_cache_size to the Memory Workload Analysis section.

• Removed metric profiler__pmsampler_dropped_samples.

• Added support for not importing SASS cubins into the report.

NVIDIA Nsight Compute

• The Source page now shows the instruction category in SASS and the instruction mix for high-level source.

• Added a new instruction mix and scoreboard dependencies table to the Source page.

• Added improved tooltips to the memory chart.

• Added information on the GPC Constant Cache (GCC) and DSMEM atomics in the memory tables.

• The Metric Details tool window now shows the breakdown for throughput metrics.

• Added support for searching web forum and rule results.

• Multiple results from the same search source are now combined to make the output more readable.

• Improved the occupancy calculator.

NVIDIA Nsight Compute CLI

• Added the option –forward-signals to transparently forward signals to the profiled application.

Resolved Issues

• Fixed that some ncu console messages were truncated after 1024 characters.

• Fixed some display issues related to Green Context tables.

• Improved the performance of remote profiling in application replay mode.

• Fixed a hang in certain scenarios when profiling dependent kernels with device-mapped host allocations.

• Fixed missing correlation between JIT-compiled PTX to SASS in some situations.

• Fixed an error when profiling a CUDA graph kernel node doing a cluster launch on driver 580 or newer.
