The command line profiler is controlled using the following environment variables -

COMPUTE_PROFILE: is set to either 1 or 0 (or unset) to enable or disable profiling.
COMPUTE_PROFILE_CONFIG: is used to specify a config file for enabling performance counters in the GPU and various other options.
COMPUTE_PROFILE_LOG: is set to the desired file path for profiling output.

In your case you can set above environment variables as -

COMPUTE_PROFILE=1
COMPUTE_PROFILE_CONFIG=config.txt
COMPUTE_PROFILE_LOG=profiler_output.txt

config.txt must contain an entry uncached_global_load_transaction.

  • Thanks. I did the samething, but the profiler can't identify the uncached_global_load_transaction option. Maybe my card doesn't support it. – dalibocai Mar 25 '12 at 14:07
