nvitop is an interactive NVIDIA device and process monitoring tool. It has a colorful and informative interface that constantly updates the status of devices and processes. As a resource monitor, it includes many features and options, such as tree view, environment variable viewing, process filtering, process indicator monitoring, etc.Among other things, the package provides deep learning researchers with a CUDA device selection toolnvisel. It also provides a convenient API that allows developers to write their own monitoring tools.

characteristic:

• Informative and beautiful output: display rationvidia-smiColorful beautiful box drawing for more information.
• monitor mode: can be run as a resource monitor instead of just printing the result once.

  • Bar and History Graphs
  • process ordering
  • process filter
  • Send a signal to a process with a keystroke
  • Tree view screen of a GPU process and its parent process
  • Environment variables screen
  • help screen
  • mouse support

• interactive: Responds to user input (from keyboard and/or mouse) while in monitor mode. (Comparedgpustatandpy3nvml)
• efficient:

  • Use the NVML Python bindings directlyQuery device status, not resolvenvidia-smioutput (withnvidia-htopcompared to)
  • Support for sparse queries and cache results using TTLCache from cachetools (withgpustatcompared to)
  • Use the curses library to display information instead of printing it with ANSI escape codes (as withpy3nvmlcompared to)
  • Use multithreading to collect information asynchronously and respond to user input more quickly. (andnvtopcompared to)

• portable: Available for Linux and Windows.

  • Use cross-platform libraries psutil Get the host process information instead of calling it in the child processps -p <pid>. (andnvidia-htopandpy3nvmlcompared to)
  • Written in pure Python, easy to usepipInstall (withnvtopcompared to)

• Can be integrated: Easy to integrate into other applications, not just monitoring. (Comparednvidia-htopandnvtop)
