Detailed Description
This chapter describes that queries that NVML can perform against each device. In each case the device is identified with an nvmlDevice_t handle. This handle is obtained by calling one of nvmlDeviceGetHandleByIndex(), nvmlDeviceGetHandleBySerial(), nvmlDeviceGetHandleByPciBusId(). or nvmlDeviceGetHandleByUUID().

For all products. Valid indices are derived from the accessibleDevices count returned by nvmlDeviceGetCount(). For example, if accessibleDevices is 2 the valid indices are 0 and 1, corresponding to GPU 0 and GPU 1. The order in which NVML enumerates devices has no guarantees of consistency between reboots. For that reason it is recommended that devices be looked up by their PCI ids or UUID. See nvmlDeviceGetHandleByUUID() and nvmlDeviceGetHandleByPciBusId(). Note: The NVML index may not correlate with other APIs, such as the CUDA device index. Starting from NVML 5, this API causes NVML to initialize the target GPU NVML may initialize additional GPUs if: • The target GPU is an SLI slave Note: New nvmlDeviceGetCount_v2 (default in NVML 5.319) returns count of all devices in the system even if nvmlDeviceGetHandleByIndex_v2 returns NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION for such device. Update your code to handle this error, or use NVML 4.304 or older nvml header file. For backward binary compatibility reasons _v1 version of the API is still present in the shared library. Old _v1 version of nvmlDeviceGetCount doesn't count devices that NVML has no permission to talk to. This means that nvmlDeviceGetHandleByIndex_v2 and _v1 can return different devices for the same index. If you don't touch macros that map old (_v1) versions to _v2 versions at the top of the file you don't need to worry about that. Parameters: index The index of the target GPU, >= 0 and < accessibleDevices device Reference in which to return the device handle Returns: • NVML_SUCCESS if device has been set • NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized • NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if index is invalid or device is NULL • NVML_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_POWER if any attached devices have improperly attached external power cables • NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION if the user doesn't have permission to talk to this device • NVML_ERROR_IRQ_ISSUE if NVIDIA kernel detected an interrupt issue with the attached GPUs • NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible • NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error See also: nvmlDeviceGetIndex nvmlDeviceGetCount nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlDeviceGetHandleByPciBusId (const char * pciBusId, nvmlDevice_t * device) Acquire the handle for a particular device, based on its PCI bus id. For all products. This value corresponds to the nvmlPciInfo_t::busId returned by nvmlDeviceGetPciInfo(). Starting from NVML 5, this API causes NVML to initialize the target GPU NVML may initialize additional GPUs if: • The target GPU is an SLI slave Note: NVML 4.304 and older version of nvmlDeviceGetHandleByPciBusId'_v1' returns NVML_ERROR_NOT_FOUND instead of NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION.

For Fermi (TM) or newer fully supported devices. This number corresponds to the value printed directly on the board, and to the value returned by nvmlDeviceGetSerial(). Deprecated Since more than one GPU can exist on a single board this function is deprecated in favor of nvmlDeviceGetHandleByUUID. For dual GPU boards this function will return NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

For all products. Valid indices are derived from the accessibleDevices count returned by nvmlDeviceGetCount(). For example, if accessibleDevices is 2 the valid indices are 0 and 1, corresponding to GPU 0 and GPU 1. The order in which NVML enumerates devices has no guarantees of consistency between reboots. For that reason it is recommended that devices be looked up by their PCI ids or GPU UUID. See nvmlDeviceGetHandleByPciBusId() and nvmlDeviceGetHandleByUUID().

For Kepler (TM) or newer fully supported devices. Based on type, this method can be used to fetch the power, utilization or clock samples maintained in the buffer by the driver. Power, Utilization and Clock samples are returned as type 'unsigned int' for the union nvmlValue_t. To get the size of samples that user needs to allocate, the method is invoked with samples set to NULL. The returned samplesCount will provide the number of samples that can be queried.

This method fetches the number of entries which can be accommodated in the provided samples array, and the reference samplesCount is updated to indicate how many samples were actually retrieved. The advantage of using this method for samples in contrast to polling via existing methods is to get get higher frequency data at lower polling cost.

Parameters: device The identifier of the target device enabled What state to try to set Auto Boosted clocks of the target device to Returns: • NVML_SUCCESS If the Auto Boosted clocks were successfully set to the state specified by enabled • NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized • NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if device is invalid • NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the device does not support Auto Boosted clocks • NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible • NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlDeviceSetCpuAffinity (nvmlDevice_t device) Sets the ideal affinity for the calling thread and device using the guidelines given in nvmlDeviceGetCpuAffinity(). Note, this is a change as of version 8.0. Older versions set the affinity for a calling process and all children. Currently supports up to 64 processors. For Kepler (TM) or newer fully supported devices. Supported on Linux only. Parameters: device The identifier of the target device Returns: • NVML_SUCCESS if the calling process has been successfully bound • NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized • NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if device is invalid • NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the device does not support this feature • NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible • NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlDeviceSetDefaultAutoBoostedClocksEnabled (nvmlDevice_t device, nvmlEnableState_t enabled, unsigned int flags) Try to set the default state of Auto Boosted clocks on a device. This is the default state that Auto Boosted clocks will return to when no compute running processes (e.g. CUDA application which have an active context) are running For Kepler (TM) or newer non-GeForce fully supported devices and Maxwell or newer GeForce devices. Requires root/admin permissions. Auto Boosted clocks are enabled by default on some hardware, allowing the GPU to run at higher clock rates to maximize performance as thermal limits allow. Auto Boosted clocks should be disabled if fixed clock rates are desired. On Pascal and newer hardware, Auto Boosted clocks are controlled through application clocks. Use nvmlDeviceSetApplicationsClocks and nvmlDeviceResetApplicationsClocks to control Auto Boost behavior. Parameters: device The identifier of the target device enabled What state to try to set default Auto Boosted clocks of the target device to flags Flags that change the default behavior. Currently Unused. Returns: • NVML_SUCCESS If the Auto Boosted clock's default state was successfully set to the state specified by enabled • NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized • NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION If the calling user does not have permission to change Auto Boosted clock's default state. • NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if device is invalid • NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the device does not support Auto Boosted clocks • NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible • NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlDeviceValidateInforom (nvmlDevice_t device) Reads the infoROM from the flash and verifies the checksums. For all products with an inforom. Parameters: device The identifier of the target device Returns: • NVML_SUCCESS if infoROM is not corrupted • NVML_ERROR_CORRUPTED_INFOROM if the device's infoROM is corrupted • NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized • NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the device does not support this feature • NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible • NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlSystemGetTopologyGpuSet (unsigned int cpuNumber, unsigned int * count, nvmlDevice_t * deviceArray) Retrieve the set of GPUs that have a CPU affinity with the given CPU number For all products. Supported on Linux only. Parameters: cpuNumber The CPU number count When zero, is set to the number of matching GPUs such that deviceArray can be malloc'd. When non-zero, deviceArray will be filled with count number of device handles. deviceArray An array of device handles for GPUs found with affinity to cpuNumber Returns: • NVML_SUCCESS if deviceArray or count (if initially zero) has been set • NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if cpuNumber, or count is invalid, or deviceArray is NULL with a non-zero count • NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the device or OS does not support this feature • NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN an error has occurred in underlying topology discovery
