Q&A

1. Can the PyTorch profiler be used without any specific things to take into account, see link?

   Answer:

   That is correct. Let us know if you come across any problems.

2. Could you give a rough estimate on the overhead in terms of percentage?

   Answer

   • Generally very low, but can be high in unusual cases.
   • Hard to say exactly what the overhead is, depends usually on the ammount of data being collected. A code with a lot of smaller chunks of GPU activity are usually more pronoe to show more overhead.
