KeepGPU

KeepGPU is a small, polite GPU keeper for shared machines. It allocates only when utilization backoff permits, keeps the requested VRAM signal lightweight, and releases cleanly when you are done.

Quick Start

pip install keep-gpu
keep-gpu --gpu-ids 0 --vram 1GiB --interval 60

Press Ctrl+C to release. CUDA, ROCm/HIP, and Apple Silicon MPS are supported when PyTorch can see the target device.
