KNOWN ISSUES
------------
1) Note that timestamps and profiler signals are not supported in CUDA v1.0. 
   The CUDA Visual Profiler currenly does not detect the CUDA version and 
   does not disable any incompatible features.

2) 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 runn most of the CUDA SDK 
   samples inside the CUDA Visual Profiler.

3) Note that timestamps and profiler signals are not working 
   on Windows Vista. Even if these options are selected no timestamp or
   profiler signal data is generated.
