Real CUDA Profiling Reveals Fragmented Execution as the True Bottleneck

Developers over-focus on individual CUDA kernels, but real profiling shows execution time is dominated by fragmented kernel launches and communication gaps, with bottlenecks in launch latency, data transfer, and insufficient exposed parallelism—making end-to-end optimization the real key.
