nvgpu - NVIDIA GPU tools
It provides information about GPUs and their availability for computation.
Often we want to train a ML model on one of GPUs installed on a multi-GPU machine. Since TensorFlow allocates all memory, only one such process can use the GPU at a time. Unfortunately nvidia-smi provides only a text interface with information about GPUs. This packages wraps it with an easier to use CLI and Python interface.
It’s a quick and dirty solution calling nvidia-smi and parsing its output. We can take one or more GPUs availabile for computation based on relative memory usage, ie. it is OK with Xorg taking a few MB.
Installing
pip install nvgpu
Usage examples
Command-line interface:
# grab all available GPUs CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$(nvgpu available) # grab at most available GPU CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$(nvgpu available -l 1)
Python API:
import nvgpu
nvgpu.available_gpus()
# ['0', '2']
nvgpu.gpu_info()
