+# gputrc2graph.py
+
+This script processes NVIDIA Nsight Systems (`nsys`) GPU trace files
+(`.nsys-rep`) with -t cuda tracing enabled, and generates kernel-level
+summaries and visualizations of GPU and non-GPU time. It is useful for
+profiling and analyzing nsys profile output.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command-line Arguments
+
+- `--in_file`  
+  **(required)**  
+  List of input files and their metadata. Each entry should be in the format:  
+  `<nsys-rep>,<engine>,<model>,<elapsed_nonprofiled_sec>`  
+    - `nsys-rep`: Path to the `.nsys-rep` file.
+    - `engine`: Engine name (e.g., `vllm`).
+    - `model`: Model name (e.g., `llama`, `gpt-oss`, `ds`).
+    - `elapsed_nonprofiled_sec`: Wall-clock runtime (in seconds) without
+    profiling. Specify `0` to use the elapsed time from the nsys-rep file
+    (this may inflate non-GPU time if actual runtime without profiling is
+    less). Multiple entries can be provided, separated by spaces.
+
+- `--out_dir`  
+  Output directory for the generated CSV and HTML files.  
+  If not specified, results are saved in the current directory.
+
+- `--title`  
+  Title for the HTML chart/visualization.
+
+- `--nsys_cmd`  
+  Path to the `nsys` command.  
+  Default: `nsys` (assumes it is in your PATH).  
+  Use this if `nsys` is not in your system PATH.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Make sure you have pandas installed.
+- Make sure [nsys](https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-systems/get-started) is installed, and specify the path to the `nsys` command with `--nsys_cmd` if it is not in your PATH.
+- For more details on available engines and models, see the help string in
+  the script or run:
+
+```bash
+python3 gputrc2graph.py --help
+```
+
+## Example 1: analyze a single profile
+
+To analyze the GPU cycles for say, gpt-oss model with vLLM engine:
+
+1. Run the following command to collect nsys profile, for vllm serve config.
+
+   ```bash
+   nsys profile -t cuda -o run1 -f true --trace-fork-before-exec=true \
+   --cuda-graph-trace=node --delay <DELAY> --duration <DURATION> \
+   vllm serve openai/gpt-oss-120b ...
+   ```
+
+   where:
+
+   - DELAY: how many seconds to delay nsys from collecting profiles, needed so
+     that profiles aren't captured till vllm server has come up and load
+     generation starts.
+   - DURATION: how many seconds for nsys profile to run before generating the
+     profile. This should be > the duration of the run.
+
+2. Run again, this time without collecting the profile, and get the total run
+   time in seconds. This value will be used by the script to calculate the
+   CPU(non-GPU) seconds for the analysis.
+
+3. Say the run elapsed time is 306 seconds, from step #2. Run script to
+   analyze:
+
+   ```bash
+   python3 gputrc2graph.py \
+   --in_file run1.nsys-rep,vllm,gpt-oss,306 \
+   --title "vLLM-gpt-oss profile"
+   ```
+
+The command will produce 2 files for analysis:
+
+- result.html: this categorizes kernel names into different categories in a
+  stacked bar chart.
+- result.csv: shows how the kernel names are mapped to the different
+  categories.
+
+### HTML visualization with result.html
+
+The html file shows the number of elapsed seconds due to different GPU
+Substages or categories, which consist of moe_gemm (Mixture of Experts GEMM)
+kernels the biggest category, at 148 seconds, followed by "attn" or attention
+kernels. This lets the user prioritize the kernels to focus on for performance
+optimizations.
+
+![Example GPU Trace Visualization](images/html.png)
+
+There's also an appended data table underneath the bar chart for copying out to other post-processing tools.
+
+![Example GPU Trace Table](images/html_tbl.png)
+
+### Kernel to category mapping with result.csv
+
+Suppose the user would like to focus on improving triton kernels. It's not the
+biggest consumer of cycles at 9.74 sec but perhaps it hasn't been optimized.
+The next step is to use the result.csv to dive into what the kernels are which
+compose the triton kernel GPU cycles. The following image shows that
+triton_poi_fused__to_copy_add_addmm_cat_.. kernel to be the biggest
+contributor to GPU cycles.
+
+![Example GPU Trace csv](images/csv1.png)
+
+## Example 2: analyze multiple profiles
+
+Suppose the user has multiple nsys trace files, captured for different models,
+say llama and gpt-oss in this case, and wish to compare their GPU/non-GPU
+time, something like the following command can be used.
+
+```bash
+python3 gputrc2graph.py \
+--in_file run1.nsys-rep,vllm,llama,100 run2.nsys-rep,vllm,gpt-oss,102 \
+--out_dir results \
+--title "Comparison of vLLM Models"
+```
+
+The analysis process is similar to example 1 but now there will be multiple
+stack bar charts that can be compared.  The categories for the different
+kernels will remain the same, so that it's easy to compare the GPU cycles for
+the same categories.
+
+Once a category is shown to have more cycles for one configuration than
+another, the next step would be to use the csv file to see what kernels are
+mapped into that category, and which kernels are taking the largest amount of
+time which would cause a difference for the overall category.
+
+## Example 3: add new classification for a new model
+
+To create a new engine DEF with model ABC, just add another json file in the same directory as
+gputrc2graph.py with the same format as the other json files. The script will automatically pick up all the json files in the same directory as engine/model specifications.
+
+Then, for this new model, suppose there are 4 kernels to be classified into "gemm" and "attn", where the gemm kernels
+have names with "*H*" or "*I*" in them, and attn kernels have names with "*J*"
+or "*K*" in them, just add another .json file in the same directory as
+gputrc2graph.py with the same format as the other json files, like the following:
+
+```json
+{
+  "DEF": {
+      "ABC": { 
+          "H|I": "gemm",
+          "J|K": "attn",
+          "CUDA mem": "non-gpu-H_D_memops",
+          ".*": "misc"
+      }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Each entry in the dictionary consists of:
+
+- key: a regex used to classify the kernels
+- value: the category to classify the kernels into.
+
+The last 2 entries are common for all engine/models, consisting of CUDA memory
+operations and a 'misc' for anything that's leftover and can't be classified.
+
+When invoking gputrc2graph.py, specify a trace file with this new model/engine
+like the following:
+
+```bash
+--infile new.nsys-rep,DEF,ABC,<runtime>
+```
+
+If the engine_DEF.json file already exists, just add the model as a new node in
+the existing engine file, after the other models.
