While detailed instrumentation of CPUs has been available for some time, GPUs are still commonly treated as black boxes. Zymtrace, a new profiler designed to provide detailed introspection for both CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs, as well as the interactions between them, aims to solve this problem. It comes from zystem, a young startup and member of the NVIDIA Inception program on a mission to accelerate the world’s transition to cost-efficient and sustainable computing.

The classical machine learning paradigm requires the aggregation of user data in a central location where data scientists can pre-process it, calculate features, tune models and evaluate performance. The advantages of this approach include being able to leverage high-performance hardware (such as GPUs), and the scope for a data science team to perform in-depth data analysis to improve model performance.
