Returns a set of supported profiler tracing activities.
Note: profiler uses CUPTI library to trace on-device CUDA kernels.
In case when CUDA is enabled but CUPTI is not available, passing

profiling code (same as in the legacy ``torch.autograd.profiler``).
This, in turn, results in including CUDA time in the profiler table output,

.. note::
Use :func:`~torch.profiler.schedule` to generate the callable schedule.
Non-default schedules are useful when profiling long training jobs
and allow the user to obtain multiple traces at the different iterations
of the training process.
The default schedule simply records all the events continuously for the
duration of the context manager.
.. note::
Use :func:`~torch.profiler.tensorboard_trace_handler` to generate result files for TensorBoard:
``on_trace_ready=torch.profiler.tensorboard_trace_handler(dir_name)``
After profiling, result files can be found in the specified directory. Use the command:
``tensorboard --logdir dir_name``
to see the results in TensorBoard.
