RUNNING THE CUDA Visual Profiler
----------------------------
From Finder run

From Terminal run
   "<CudaVisualProfilerInstallDir>\CudaVisualProfiler\cudaprof.app\Contents\MacOS\cudaprof"

Refer the CUDA Visual Profiler cudaprof.html document for more information.

KNOWN ISSUES
------------
1) Profiler counters are not supported on some versions of MAC. 
   Other features using profiler counters will also not work on these systems.

2) The CUDA Visual Profiler does not detect the CUDA version and 
   does not disable any incompatible features.

3) Currently there is no way to pass keyboard input to a console-based CUDA
   program which is run from the CUDA Visual Profiler. Therefore you must use 
   the command line  argument "--noprompt" to run most of the CUDA SDK 
   samples inside the CUDA Visual Profiler.
