GPU threads count from Opencv GPU module

How can I determine GPU resource usage from OpenCV GPU module and especially the number of threads used during my program execution?

I am using Tesla K20C for executing my experiments and using GPUTech-Z utility to monitor resource usage.. During the program execution, my GPU is 15-20% loaded and it is consuming about 4% of GPU memory

I tried using Nsight Visual Studio edition, however, it shows only calls to opencv_gpu246d.dll and not to individual CUDA function calls from the library.

To monitor the GPU module, when you are using CUDA, have a look at the NVIDIA Visual Profiler. NVIDIA has a blog, where you could learn how to use the visual profiler (here).

[Edit] Use the flag '-lineinfo' for nvcc to help profiling with line number.

Thanks for your answers Mathieu. Visual profiler was not helpful with OpenCV GPU module, as this module is already built and included as library in my application. I have no access to CUDA code while executing my application using OpenCV GPU module functions.

Strange, in mine, I can see all the kernel launched. Did you try to compile yourself the library?

Yes, I compiled the library with CUDA support by myself. Is there any special setting in your visual studio project for enabling the display of kernel launches in Visual profiler?

I can specify NVCC profiler options with CUDA files, with .cu extension, in my project. I don't have any CUDA files in my OpenCV based project. Where shall I specify the NVCC compiler flagfs in this case?
