profile_gpt2.cu

/*
This code is a convenience tool for profiling the CUDA kernels in the training
loop of train_gpt2.cu. Compile:

make profile_gpt2cu NO_MULTI_GPU=1

And then e.g. use ncu from NVIDIA. The CLI docs for example:
https://docs.nvidia.com/nsight-compute/NsightComputeCli/

TLDR run like:

sudo ncu --set full --import-source yes -o profile -f ./profile_gpt2cu

This:
- `--set full` means we'll collect A LOT of metrics. take out for less
- `--import-source yes` means we'll get the source code in the profile
- `-o profile` writes the results into file profile.ncu-rep
- `-f` forces overwrite of the profile.ncu-rep file
- `./profile_gpt2cu` is the executable we want to profile

This writes results into profile.ncu-rep output file.
You can open this up in NVIDIA Nsight Compute UI.
For example, I have NVIDIA Nsight Compute installed on my Mac, and I rsync
the profile.ncu-rep from a cloud box to local to pretty view.
