NAME

       intel_gpu_top - Display a top-like summary of Intel GPU usage

SYNOPSIS

       intel_gpu_top [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       intel_gpu_top is a tool to display usage information on Intel GPU's.

       The  tool  gathers  data  using  perf performance counters (PMU) exposed by i915 and other
       platform drivers like RAPL (power) and Uncore IMC (memory bandwidth).

OPTIONS

       -h     Show help text.

       -J     Output JSON formatted data.

       -l     List plain text data.

       -o <filepath|->
              Output to the specified file instead of standard output.  '-' can also be specified
              to explicitly select standard output.

       -s <ms>
              Refresh period in milliseconds.

       -L     List available GPUs on the platform.

       -d     Select a specific GPU using supported filter.

RUNTIME CONTROL

       Supported keys:
          'q'     Exit  from  the  tool.   'h'     Show  interactive help.  '1'    Toggle between
          aggregated engine class and physical engine mode.  'n'     Toggle  display  of  numeric
          client  busyness  overlay.   's'     Toggle between sort modes (runtime, total runtime,
          pid, client id).  'i'    Toggle display  of  clients  which  used  no  GPU  time.   'H'
          Toggle between per PID aggregation and individual clients.

DEVICE SELECTION

       User  can  select  specific GPU for performance monitoring on platform where multiple GPUs
       are available.  A GPU can be selected by sysfs path, drm node or  using  various  PCI  sub
       filters.

       Filter types:

          ---
          filter   syntax
          ---
          sys      sys:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0
                   find device by its sysfs path

          drm      drm:/dev/dri/* path
                   find drm device by /dev/dri/* node

          pci      pci:[vendor=%04x/name][,device=%04x][,card=%d]
                   vendor is hex number or vendor name

JSON OUTPUT

       To  parse the JSON as output by the tool the consumer should wrap its entirety into square
       brackets ([ ]). This will make each sample point a  JSON  array  element  and  will  avoid
       "Multiple root elements" JSON validation error.

LIMITATIONS

       • Not all metrics are supported on all platforms. Where a metric is unsupported it's value
         will be replaced by a dashed line.

       • Non-root access to perf counters is controlled by the perf_event_paranoid sysctl.
