pyzes 0.1.1

Python bindings for Intel Level-Zero Driver Library (Sysman API)

drivers.gpu.compute.pyzes

pyzes

Python bindings to the Intel Level-Zero-Driver Library

Provides a Python interface to GPU management and monitoring functions.

This is a wrapper around the Level-Zero-Driver library. For information about the Level-Zero-Driver library, see the spec document https://oneapi-src.github.io/level-zero-spec/level-zero/latest/index.html

Download the latest package from: https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero

The level-zero header file contains function documentation that is relevant to this wrapper. The header file is distributed with driver (ze_api.h and zes_api.h)

This module does not handles allocating structs before returning the desired value. Non-success codes are returned and respective error is printed.

REQUIREMENTS

• Python 3.10 (required)
• ctypes module (included in standard Python library)
• Level Zero driver installed on the system

INSTALLATION

# Ensure you have Python 3.10 installed
python3.10 --version

# Install the package (when available)
pip install pyzes

USAGE

>>> from pyzes import *
>>> rc = zesInit(0)
>>> driver_count = c_uint32(0)
>>> rc = pyzes.zesDriverGet(byref(driver_count), None)
>>> print(f"Driver Count: {driver_count.value}")

C Structure and its python module class

struct zes_process_state_t {

zes_structure_type_t stype [in] type of this structure

const void *pNext [in][optional] must be null or a pointer to an extension-specific structure (i.e. contains stype and pNext).

uint32_t processId [out] Host OS process ID.

uint64_t memSize [out] Device memory size in bytes allocated by this process (may not necessarily be resident on the device at the time of reading).

uint64_t sharedSize [out] The size of shared device memory mapped into this process (may not necessarily be resident on the device at the time of reading).

zes_engine_type_flags_t engines [out] Bitfield of accelerator engine types being used by this process. }

Python Class class zes_process_state_t(Structure): fields = [ ("pid", c_uint32), ("command", c_char * ZES_STRING_PROPERTY_SIZE), ("memSize", c_uint64), # in bytes ("sharedMemSize", c_uint64),# in bytes ("engineType", zes_engine_type_flags_t), ("subdeviceId", c_uint32), ]

FUNCTIONS

Python methods wrap Level-Zero-Driver functions, implemented in a C shared library. Each function's use is the same:

• C function output parameters are filled in with values, and return codes are returned.

ze_result_t zesDeviceGetProperties(
    zes_device_handle_t hDevice,
    zes_device_properties_t* pProperties);
	
>>> props = zes_device_properties_t()
>>> props.stype = ZES_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEVICE_PROPERTIES
>>> props.pNext = None
>>> pyzes.zesDeviceGetProperties(devices[i], byref(props))

• C structs are converted into Python classes.

// C Function and typedef struct

ze_result_t zesDeviceGetProperties(
    zes_device_handle_t hDevice,
    zes_device_properties_t* pProperties);

typedef struct _zes_device_properties_t
{
	zes_structure_type_t stype; 
	void* pNext;
	ze_device_properties_t core;
	uint32_t numSubdevices; 
	char serialNumber[ZES_STRING_PROPERTY_SIZE];
	char boardNumber[ZES_STRING_PROPERTY_SIZE]; 
	char brandName[ZES_STRING_PROPERTY_SIZE];   
	char modelName[ZES_STRING_PROPERTY_SIZE];   
	char vendorName[ZES_STRING_PROPERTY_SIZE];  
	char driverVersion[ZES_STRING_PROPERTY_SIZE]
} zes_device_properties_t;

>>>print(f"numSubdevices: {props.numSubdevices}")
>>>print(f"serialNumber:  {props.serialNumber}")
>>>print(f"boardNumber:   {props.boardNumber}")
>>>print(f"brandName: {props.brandName}")
>>>print(f"modelName: {props.modelName}")
>>>print(f"driverVersion: {props.driverVersion}")
>>>print(f"coreClockMHz: {props.core.coreClockRate}")

HOW TO USE STRUCTURE CHAINING

>>> props = zes_device_properties_t()
>>> props.stype = ZES_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEVICE_PROPERTIES
>>> ext = zes_device_ext_properties_t()
>>> ext.stype = ZES_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEVICE_EXT_PROPERTIES
>>> ext.pNext = None
>>> base.pNext = cast(pointer(ext), c_void_p)
>>> pyzes.zesDeviceGetProperties(devices[i], byref(props))
>>> print(f"Extension properties flags: {ext.flags}")

For more information see the Level-Zero-Driver documentation.

RELEASE NOTES

Version 0.1.1

• Minor fixes: Removed unnecessary debug print statements

Version 0.1.0 (Initial Release)

• Initial release of pyzes Python bindings for Intel Level-Zero Driver Library
• Added pyzes.py module with Python binding wrapper functions
• Added pyzes_example.py and pyzes_black_box_test.py as sample applications
• Supported API modules:
  • Device Management APIs
  • Memory Management APIs
  • Power Management APIs
  • Frequency Management APIs
  • Temperature Monitoring APIs
  • Engine Management APIs

Notes: Linux: zesPowerGetEnergyCounter zesTemperatureGetState zesMemoryGetBandwidth

The above APIs needs user to be in superuser/root mode or have read permissions for telem nodes
Telem Node Directory: /sys/class/intel_pmt/telem(1/2/3/4)/telem

zesDeviceEnumEngineGroups shows no handles found error when not in super user mode.
