+#### Notes
+- Before you get started: if you have multiple VS code and/or CMake versions, you will probably run into trouble. Either uninstall extra versions (if possible) or ensure that the correct VSCode (or XCode) and CMake versions are being chosen.
+- If you are running into a lot of trouble, a clean installation of VS Code (or XCode), CMake, and CUDA can help fix any problems if other methods don't work.
+- If you have driver issues or random crashing: uninstalling and reinstalling drivers usually works

+When attempting to run the performance analysis, the project would run successfully and I'd close it as per instructions, but then the analysis window would claim "0.0 seconds captured" and I'd be unable to see the timeline. I was unable to resolve the problem and did not make it to office hours yet, but will try to come in on Tuesday's office hours.
