GPU Monitor (gpumon)

gpumon is a real-time GPU monitoring tool designed to display various metrics for NVIDIA GPUs, including temperature, fan speed, memory usage, load, and power consumption. It provides color-coded output for easy identification of critical values and can operate in both continuous and one-time monitoring modes.

Features

• Real-time Monitoring: Continuously monitors NVIDIA GPU statistics.
• Detailed Metrics: Displays temperature, fan speed, memory usage, GPU load, and power consumption.
• Color-Coded Output: Highlights different levels of each metric with distinct colors for easy visualization.
• Customizable: Users can adjust the bar length and refresh rate.
• Single or Continuous Mode: Option to display GPU status once or continuously update.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• NVIDIA drivers
• nvidia-smi command-line utility

Install using pip

To install gpumon, use the following command:

pip install gpumon

Usage

Run the tool using the command line:

Continuous Monitoring (default mode)

gpumon

This command will start gpumon in continuous monitoring mode, refreshing the display every 0.5 seconds.

One-Time Status Display

To display the GPU status once and then exit:

gpumon --continuous False

Custom Bar Length and Refresh Rate

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the monitoring display:

gpumon --bar-length 5 --refresh-rate 1.0

• --bar-length: Sets the length of the progress bars (default is 5).
• --refresh-rate: Sets the refresh rate in seconds (default is 0.5 seconds).

Command-Line Arguments

• --bar-length: The length of the progress bars. This controls how much detail is displayed in the bar representation.
• --refresh-rate: The rate in seconds at which the display refreshes.
• --continuous: Set to False for a one-time status display, otherwise the tool runs continuously (default is True).
