Step By Step

A four-stage loop designed for production GPU teams.

The important part is not just collecting data. The product is the system that converts noisy runtime traces into ordered, explainable, and testable actions.

01
Step 1

Capture low-overhead traces

Fournex collects lightweight Python runtime telemetry by default, with optional native CUPTI/NVML tracing when built for it, and accepts Nsight Compute CSVs for exact hardware-counter evidence.

NCU CSVs for hardware counters

Step 2

Classify the bottleneck

Instead of dumping raw timelines on your team, we map trace signatures to known bottleneck families and attach a concrete diagnosis.

Dataloader starvation
Launch fragmentation
Mixed-precision and memory issues
03
Step 3

Rank the highest-ROI fixes

Recommendations are ordered by expected uplift, implementation effort, confidence, and risk so the first action is obvious.

Explainable ranking logic
Fast wins separated from riskier changes
Optimizations scoped to your workload shape

Step 4

Validate and close the loop

Every suggested change is meant to be benchmarked, checked for regressions, and fed back into the policy layer over time.

Before/after measurement
Guardrails for NaNs, memory, and throughput
Continuous learning from validated outcomes
Validation

Recommendations are only useful if teams can trust them.

A good optimization system cannot stop at suggestions. It needs guardrails, confidence signals, and a way to prove that the proposed change actually improved the workload.

Throughput improves versus baseline
Memory pressure stays within guardrails
Numerics remain stable
Regression checks pass before rollout
Example Operating Pipeline
Input

Live workload traces from training, inference, or simulation jobs

Reasoning

Classifier reconciles telemetry, NCU, PTX, and source signals into bottlenecks and possible fixes

Decision

System ranks the next action by ROI, effort, confidence, and risk

Output

Teams get a validated optimization path instead of a messy dashboard

If the workflow makes sense, the next question is simple: what would the system find in your actual GPU workload?
