NVIDIA® Nsight™ Eclipse Edition is a full-featured IDE powered by the Eclipse platform that provides an all-in-one integrated environment to edit, build, debug and profile CUDA-C applications. Nsight Eclipse Edition supports a rich set of commercial and free plugins.

Nsight Eclipse Edition is part of the CUDA Toolkit Installer for Linux and Mac.

Nsight Source Code Editor

• New project templates and integration with the CUDA SDK samples make getting started quick and easy
• Project Builder with support for all CUDA capable GPUs with support for static and dynamic libraries
• CUDA code highlighting makes it easy to navigate heterogeneous code
• CUDA aware refactoring improves productivity and code quality
• CUDA aware code completion and inline help
• Hyperlink navigation enables faster code browsing

Nsight Debugger

• Seamless and simultaneous debugging of both CPU and GPU code
• View program variables across several CUDA threads
• Examine execution state and mapping of the kernels and GPUs
• View, Navigate and filter to selectively track execution across threads
• Set breakpoints and single-step execution at both source-code and assembly levels
• Includes cuda-memcheck to help detect memory errors

Nsight Profiler

• Easily identify performance bottlenecks using a unified CPU and GPU trace of application activity
• Automated analysis system pin-points optimization opportunities
• Highlights potential performance problems at specific source-lines within application kernels
• Close integration with Nsight Editor and Builder enable fast edit-build-profile optimization cycle
• Integrates with the new nvprof command-line profiler to enable visualization of profile data collected on headless compute nodes
