July 20, 2022 - Profiler allows one to check which operators were called during the execution of a code range wrapped with a profiler context manager. If multiple profiler ranges are active at the same time (e.g. in parallel PyTorch threads), each profiling ...

May 29, 2026 - No prerequisites apart from basic PyTorch. Treat this as a leisurely read with some "Aha!" moments. The structure of the post is intentionally question-led: we open a trace, ask "wait, why is that happening?", and chase the answer until something clicks. By the end you should know: how to set up torch.profiler and what it actually hands back,

March 25, 2021 - Developed as part of a collaboration between Microsoft and Facebook, the PyTorch Profiler is an open-source tool that enables accurate and efficient performance analysis and troubleshooting for large-scale deep learning models.

September 3, 2024 - PyTorch Profiler is a powerful tool designed to help developers analyze and optimize the performance of their PyTorch models.

This tutorial seeks to teach users about using profiling tools such as nvsys, rocprof, and the torch profiler in a simple transformers training loop. We will cover how to use the PyTorch profiler to identify performance bottlenecks, understand GPU efficiency metrics, and perform initial optimizations.

PyTorch includes a profiler that lets you inspect the cost of different operators inside your model - both on the CPU and GPU.

This profiler uses PyTorch’s Autograd Profiler and lets you inspect the cost of different operators inside your model - both on the CPU and GPU.

May 7, 2025 - Estimated FLOPs: For certain common operators like matrix multiplication and 2D convolution, the profiler · can estimate the number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) performed if with_flops=True is set.9 This can · help in assessing the computational intensity of different parts of the model. • · Execution Timeline (Trace View): Perhaps the most powerful feature for detailed analysis is the ability to · export a chronological trace of events. Argonne Leadership Computing Facility · 4 · Example of using PyTorch Profiler on Aurora ·

The torch.profiler API provides a comprehensive view of model execution by tracking several important metrics: Operator Execution Time: Measures the duration spent executing individual PyTorch operators on both the CPU and the GPU (CUDA kernels).

March 26, 2024 - This post briefly and with an example shows how to profile a training task of a model with the help of PyTorch profiler. Developers use…

August 14, 2024 - Hello, I am profiling my training code and I’m struggling to understand the output. The different steps seem to be taking different amount of time and I am not sure why. A simplified version of my code would be: with profiler.profile(activities=[ProfilerActivity.CPU, ProfilerActivity.CUDA], ...) as p: for x, y in training_dataloader: p.step() out = model(x) loss = loss_fn(out,y) loss.backward() optim.step() optim.zero_grad() Scheduler is...
