A simple tool to show specified number of GPUs with desired memory to Tensorflow
Project description
Mask GPU
A simple tool to expose only specified number of GPUs with desired memory to Tensorflow (and a few more apps, read further). This tool queries GPU free memory values using nvidia-smi
and assigns CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
environment variable based on the specified memory and number of GPUs to expose, to expose specific GPUs. Apps such as tensorflow-gpu
use this information and utilize only the GPUs that are exposed. If your app does not make use of CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
, then this is probably not what you would need.
Dependencies
- nvidia-smi
Installation
pip install mask-gpu
Quick Start
To show available GPUs info
mask-gpu --info
# Outputs the following
# Finding GPUs with a minimum of 1024MiB free memory...
# GPUs available: 6 -> [0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Simply run mask-gpu
to expose 1 GPU (with a minimum of 1024MiB free memory)
`mask-gpu`
# Remember to wrap mask-gpu in ` symbol
# Or else mask-gpu will print the command
# and you will have to manually execute it
Specifying Options
By default mask-gpu
seraches for GPUs with atleast 1024M free memory and allots 1 GPU
mask-gpu --info --min_memory 1024
# mask-gpu -i -m 1024 <--- Same as above
# Info does not execute any commands
`mask-gpu --expose 1 --min_memory 1024`
# `mask-gpu -e 3 -m 1024` <--- Same as above
# Remember to wrap mask-gpu in ` symbol
You can specify your own options using the above as the template
Unmask all (Revert)
To unmask all GPUs, i.e, to revert to what it was before using mask-gpu
`mask-gpu --unmask-all`
# `mask-gpu -u` <--- Same as above
# Remember to wrap mask-gpu in ` symbol
NOTE: This command will clear CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
and hence it will be erased when executing the above command
