nvsmifs 1.0.0

A (user-)friendly wrapper to nvidia-smi

nvsmifs

A (user-)friendly wrapper to nvidia-smi forked from https://github.com/pmav99 to include fan speed support.

It can be used to filter the GPUs based on resource usage (e.g. to choose the least utilized GPU on a multi-GPU system).

Usage

CLI

nvsmifs --help
nvsmifs ls --help
nvsmifs ps --help

As a library

import nvsmifs

nvsmifs.get_gpus()
nvsmifs.get_available_gpus()
nvsmifs.get_gpu_processes()

Prerequisites

• An nvidia GPU
• nvidia-smi
• Python 2.7 or 3.6+

Installation

pipx

The recommended installation method is pipx. More specifically, you can install nvsmifs for your user with:

pipx install nvsmifs

The above command will create a virtual environment in ~/.local/pipx/venvs/nvsmifs and add the nvsmifs executable in ~/.local/bin.

pip

Alternatively you can use good old pip but this is more fragile than pipx:

pip install --user nvsmifs
