解决 nvprof 报错ERR_NVGPUCTRPERM - The user does not have permission to profile on the target device

做 CUDA 开发，用 nvprof 命令行分析性能时报错：

==14973== Warning: ERR_NVGPUCTRPERM - The user does not have permission to profile on the target device. See the following link for instructions to enable permissions and get more information: https://developer.nvidia.com/ERR_NVGPUCTRPERM 
==14973== Profiling application: ./main
==14973== Profiling result:
No events/metrics were profiled.
==14973== Warning: Some profiling data are not recorded.

这是因为权限不够

1. 所以，查看nvvp路径

$ which nvvp
/usr/local/cuda-11.2/bin/nvvp

2. 把/usr/local/cuda-11.2/bin加到Defaults secure_path后面

$ sudo su
$ vim /etc/sudoers

Defaults        secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin:/usr/local/cuda-11.2/bin"

保存退出:wq!

3. 可以使用啦，只需要前面加个sudo

sudo nvprof --metrics branch_efficiency ./main
