Review comment:
       I don't enjoy suggesting a code repetition, but isn't the following an 
improvement over letting python users have to make their own colors:
   ```
   class Nvtx:
       # Palette of colors
       RED = 0xFF0000
       GREEN = 0x00FF00
       BLUE = 0x0000FF
       YELLOW = 0xB58900
       ORANGE  = 0xCB4B16
       RED = 0xDC322F
       MAGENTA = 0xD33682
       VIOLET = 0x6C71C4
       BLUE1   = 0x268BD2
       CYAN    = 0x2AA198
       GREEN  = 0x859900
   
   def nvtx_range_push(name, color=Nvtx.ORANGE):
   ```

Review comment:
       Should this new file be ./src/common/cuda/nvtx.h ?

Review comment:
       Do we know if the nvtxRangePushEx(&att) makes a copy of 
att.message.ascii?  I suspect not, in which case I'm worried about the lifetime 
of range_name.c_str().
   
   gpuRangeStart() is called with a const char *, so won't that require making 
a short-lived temporary string (with a copy of the char array) in the caller's 
environment?
