Instructions

VBIOS-version

Fråga efter VBIOS-versionen för varje enhet:

$ nvidia-smi --query-gpu=gpu_name,gpu_bus_id,vbios_version --format=csv

name, pci.bus_id, vbios_version
GRID K2, 0000:87:00.0, 80.04.D4.00.07
GRID K2, 0000:88:00.0, 80.04.D4.00.08

 

Query Description
timestamp The timestamp of where the query was made in format "YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.msec".
gpu_name The official product name of the GPU. 
This is an alphanumeric string. For all products.
gpu_bus_id PCI bus id as "domain:bus:device.function", in hex.
vbios_version The BIOS of the GPU board.

Fråga GPU-mått för loggning på värdsidan

Den här frågan är bra för att övervaka GPU-måtten på hypervisor-sidan.

Den här frågan fungerar för både ESXi och XenServer:

$ nvidia-smi --query-gpu=timestamp,name,pci.bus_id,driver_version,pstate,pcie.link.gen.max,
pcie.link.gen.current,temperature.gpu,utilization.gpu,utilization.memory,
memory.total,memory.free,memory.used --format=csv -l 5
När du lägger till ytterligare parametrar i en fråga ska du se till att inga blanksteg läggs till mellan frågealternativen.
Query Description
timestamp The timestamp of where the query was made in format "YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.msec".
name The official product name of the GPU. 
This is an alphanumeric string. For all products.
pci.bus_id PCI bus id as "domain:bus:device.function", in hex.
driver_version The version of the installed NVIDIA display driver. 
This is an alphanumeric string.
pstate The current performance state for the GPU. States range from P0 (maximum performance) to P12 (minimum performance).
pcie.link.gen.max The maximum PCI-E link generation possible with this GPU and system configuration. 
For example, if the GPU supports a higher PCIe generation than the system supports then this reports the system PCIe generation.
pcie.link.gen.current The current PCI-E link generation. These may be reduced when the GPU is not in use.
temperature.gpu Core GPU temperature. in degrees C.

utilization.gpu

Percent of time over the past sample period during which one or more kernels was executing on the GPU.
The sample period may be between 1 second and 1/6 second depending on the product.

utilization.memory

Percent of time over the past sample period during which global (device) memory was being read or written.
The sample period may be between 1 second and 1/6 second depending on the product.

memory.total

 Total installed GPU memory.

memory.free

 Total free memory.

memory.used

 Total memory allocated by active contexts.

nvidia-smi Användning för loggning

Kortvarig loggning

Lägg till alternativet "-f <filename>" för att omdirigera utdata till en fil.

Lägg till "timeout -t <seconds>" för att köra frågan efter <seconds> och sluta logga.

Se till att frågekornigheten har rätt storlek för den användning som krävs:

 

Purpose nvidia-smi "-l" value interval timeout "-t" value Duration
Fine-grain GPU behavior 5 5 seconds 600 10 minutes
General GPU behavior 60 1 minute 3600 1 hour
Broad GPU behavior 3600 1 hour 86400 24 hours

 

Långsiktig loggning

Skapa ett gränssnittsskript för att automatisera skapandet av loggfilen med tidsstämpeldata tillagda i filnamns- och frågeparametrarna.

Lägg till en anpassad cron jobb till /var/spool/cron/crontabs för att anropa skriptet med de intervall som krävs.

YTTERLIGARE LÅGNIVÅKOMMANDON SOM ANVÄNDS FÖR KLOCKOR OCH STRÖM

Aktivera läget "Persistence".

Alla inställningar nedan för klockor och ström återställs mellan programkörningar såvida du inte aktiverar beständighetsläge (PM) för drivrutinen.

Även nvidia-smi körs snabbare om FU-läget är aktiverat.

nvidia-smi -pm 1 - Se till att klocka, ström och andra inställningar bevaras vid programkörningar och drivrutinsanrop.

Klockor

Command Detail
nvidia-smi -ac <MEM clock, Graphics clock>   View clocks supported
nvidia-smi –q –d SUPPORTED_CLOCKS Set one of supported clocks
nvidia-smi -q –d CLOCK View current clock
