NAME

       nvtop - interactive GPU process viewer

SYNOPSIS

       nvtop [-hv] [-d delay]

DESCRIPTION

       nvtop is a ncurses-based GPU status viewer for AMD, Intel and NVIDIA GPUs.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

       -d, --delay=delay
              Delay between updates, in tenths of seconds (delay * 0.1s).

       -h, --help
              Print the help and exit.

       -C, --no-color
              Monochrome mode.

       -f, --freedom-unit
              Use fahrenheit as temperature scale.

       -E, --encode-hide=seconds
              Modify  the  setting  for  the  encode/decode  auto-hide  timer.  Always visible if
              negative. Default to 30 seconds.

       -r, --reverse-abs
              Reverse abscissa: switch the plot data order from "old  ---  recent"  (default)  to
              "recent --- old".

       -p, --no-plot
              Show only one bar plot corresponding to the maximum of all GPUs.

       -v, --version
              Print the version and exit.

INTERACTIVE SETUP WINDOW

       You  can enter the setup utility by pressing F2 to view and modify the following interface
       options:

       General
              This section deals with general interface  options.  Color  support  and  interface
              update interval can be modified.

       Devices
              This  section deals with the devices display (top of the interface). You can switch
              the temperature scale to fahrenheit and set the encoder/decoder hiding timer.

       Chart  This section deals with the line plots (middle of the interface). You  can  reverse
              the plot direction and select which metric is being shown in the plots.

       Processes
              This  section deals with the process list (bottom of the interface). You can select
              the sort order, select the metric by which to sort  the  processes  by  and  select
              which metric is displayed.

INTERACTIVE COMMANDS

       The following commands are available while in nvtop:

       Up     Select (highlight) the previous process.

       Down   Select (highlight) the next process.

       Left / Right
              Scroll in the process row.

       +      Sort increasingly.

       -      Sort decreasingly.

       F2     Enter the setup utility to modify the interface options.

       F12    Save  the  current  interface options to persistent storage.  See the CONFIGURATION
              FILE section.

       F9     "Kill" process: Select a signal to send to the highlighted process.

       F6     Sort: Select the field for sorting. The current sort field  is  highlighted  inside
              the header bar.

       F10, q, Esc
              Quit.

DYNAMIC METERS

       When  the  video  encoder  (ENC)  and  decoder (DEC) of the GPU are in use, new percentage
       meters will appear next to the GPU utilization  bar.  They  will  disappear  automatically
       after some time of inactivity (see option -E).

CONFIGURATION FILE

       The  configuration  file  follows  the  XDG  Base Directory Specification and is stored at
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvtop/interface.ini.        The        location        defaults        to
       $HOME/.config/nvtop/interface.ini if the XDG location is not defined.

       Do  not  edit  this  file.  The file is automatically created or updated upon toggling the
       interface saving key F12.

       The configuration is loaded during program initialization.  If no  configuration  file  is
       present, default options are used.

MEMORY SIZES

       Memory sizes in nvtop are displayed as multiples of 1024 bytes or 1 KiB.

BUGS

       Some fields are shown as N/A
              Ask AMD or NVIDIA for better support of your hardware!

              If  your  card  uses  the  AMDGPU  driver, a more recent kernel might have improved
              support.

       Compatibility issues
              Does not work with nouveau driver stack and older NVIDIA GPU for the time being.

              Does not work for AMD graphics card using the old radeon driver.
