sustainer 0.1.7

Keep GPU and CPU temperatures within given limit.

Sustainer

Cause it doesn't have to be like this.

Keep GPU and CPU temperatures within given limit.

With it you no longer have to worry about hardware heating up when running long time tasks, especially for your cheap GTX1660, P106 and P104 GPU cards.

Demo

You can use the command line tool sustainer:

sustainer # default target is 'all', so both cpu and gpu stats will be sustained
python3 -m sustainer # alternative syntax

# to specify only cpu or gpu as target
sustainer --target cpu 
sustainer --target gpu  

# changing default configuration:
env TARGET_TEMP=60 sustainer # default: 65
env MAX_POWER_LIMIT_RATIO=0.7 sustainer # default: 0.8
env MAX_FREQ_RATIO=0.7 sustainer # default: 0.8

Optionally run with a process manager such as pm2 to persist as daemon:

pm2 start -n sustainer_daemon sustainer
pm2 save

If you want to call it with code, check out the test files.

Install

First, install from PyPI:

pip install sustainer

Then, install the following binaries:

# Ubuntu
sudo apt install -y cpufrequtils lm-sensors

# Debian
sudo apt install -y linux-cpupower lm-sensors
