NAME

       nvidia-smi - NVIDIA System Management Interface program

SYNOPSIS

       nvidia-smi [OPTION1 [ARG1]] [OPTION2 [ARG2]] ...

DESCRIPTION

       NVSMI  provides  monitoring information for each of NVIDIA's Tesla devices and each of its
       high-end  Fermi-based  and  Kepler-based  Quadro  devices.   It  provides   very   limited
       information   for   other   types   of   NVIDIA   devices.    See  NVML  documentation  at
       http://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-management-library-nvml for what features are supported
       on  a  particular  device.   The data is presented in either plain text or XML format, via
       stdout or a file.  NVSMI also provides several management operations for  changing  device
       state.

       Note that the functionality of NVSMI is exposed through the NVML C-based library.  See the
       NVIDIA developer website for more information about NVML.  Python  and  Perl  wrappers  to
       NVML  are  also  available.   The  output  of  NVSMI  is  not  guaranteed  to be backwards
       compatible; NVML and the bindings are backwards compatible.

OPTIONS

   GENERAL OPTIONS
   -h, --help
       Print usage information and exit.

   SUMMARY OPTIONS
   -L, --list-gpus
       List each of the NVIDIA GPUs in the system, along with  their  serial  numbers  or  UUIDs.
       Tesla  and Quadro GPUs from the Fermi and Kepler family report serial numbers, which match
       the ids physically printed on each board.  GT200 Tesla products only support UUIDs,  which
       are  also unique but do not correspond to any identifier on the board.  All other products
       report N/A.

   QUERY OPTIONS
   -q, --query
       Display GPU or Unit info.  Displayed info includes all data listed in the (GPU ATTRIBUTES)
       or  (UNIT  ATTRIBUTES)  sections of this document.  Some devices and/or environments don't
       support all possible information.  Any unsupported data is indicated by  a  "N/A"  in  the
       output.   By default information for all available GPUs or Units is displayed.  Use the -i
       option to restrict the output to a single GPU or Unit.

   [plus optional]
   -u, --unit
       Display Unit data instead of GPU data.  Unit data is only  available  for  NVIDIA  S-class
       Tesla enclosures.

   -i, --id=ID
       Display  data  for a single specified GPU or Unit.  The specified id may be the GPU/Unit's
       0-based index in the natural enumeration returned by the driver, the  GPU's  board  serial
       number,  the  GPU's  UUID, or the GPU's PCI bus ID (as domain:bus:device.function in hex).
       It is recommended that users desiring consistency use either UUID or  PCI  bus  ID,  since
       device  enumeration  ordering is not guaranteed to be consistent between reboots and board
       serial number might be shared between multiple GPUs on the same board.

   -f FILE, --filename=FILE
       Redirect query output to the specified file in place of the default stdout.  The specified
       file will be overwritten.

   -x, --xml-format
       Produce XML output in place of the default human-readable format.  Both GPU and Unit query
       outputs conform to corresponding DTDs.  These are available via the --dtd flag.

   --dtd
       Use with -x.  Embed the DTD in the XML output.

   -d, --display
       Display only selected information: MEMORY, UTILIZATION, ECC,  TEMPERATURE,  POWER,  CLOCK,
       COMPUTE, PIDS, PERFORMANCE.  Flags can be combined with comma e.g.  "MEMORY,ECC".  Doesn't
       work with -u/--unit or -x/--xml-format flags.

   -l SEC, --loop=SEC
       Continuously report query data at the specified interval, rather than the default of  just
       once.  The application will sleep in-between queries.  Note that on Linux ECC error or XID
       error events will print out during the sleep period if the  -x  flag  was  not  specified.
       Pressing  Ctrl+C  at  any time will abort the loop, which will otherwise run indefinitely.
       If no argument is specified for the -l form a default interval of 5 seconds is used.

   DEVICE MODIFICATION OPTIONS
   [any one of]
   -pm, --persistence-mode=MODE
       Set the persistence mode for the target GPUs.  See the  (GPU  ATTRIBUTES)  section  for  a
       description of persistence mode.  Requires root.  Will impact all GPUs unless a single GPU
       is specified using the -i argument.  The effect of this operation is immediate.   However,
       it  does  not  persist across reboots.  After each reboot persistence mode will default to
       "Disabled".  Available on Linux only.

   -e, --ecc-config=CONFIG
       Set the ECC mode for the target GPUs.  See the (GPU ATTRIBUTES) section for a  description
       of  ECC mode.  Requires root.  Will impact all GPUs unless a single GPU is specified using
       the -i argument.  This setting takes effect after the next reboot and is persistent.

   -p, --reset-ecc-errors=TYPE
       Reset the ECC error counters for the target GPUs.  See the (GPU ATTRIBUTES) section for  a
       description   of   ECC  error  counter  types.   Available  arguments  are  0|VOLATILE  or
       1|AGGREGATE.  Requires root.  Will impact all GPUs unless a single GPU is specified  using
       the -i argument.  The effect of this operation is immediate.

   -c, --compute-mode=MODE
       Set  the  compute  mode  for  the  target  GPUs.   See  the (GPU ATTRIBUTES) section for a
       description of compute mode.  Requires root.  Will impact all GPUs unless a single GPU  is
       specified  using the -i argument.  The effect of this operation is immediate.  However, it
       does not persist across reboots.  After each reboot compute mode will reset to "DEFAULT".

   -dm, --driver-model
   -fdm, --force-driver-model
       Enable or disable TCC driver model.  For Windows only.  Requires administrator privileges.
       -dm  will  fail  if a display is attached, but -fdm will force the driver model to change.
       Will impact all GPUs unless a single GPU is specified using the -i argument.  A reboot  is
       required  for  the change to take place.  See Driver Model for more information on Windows
       driver models.

        --gom
       Set GPU Operation Mode: 0/ALL_ON, 1/COMPUTE, 2/LOW_DP Supported on GK110  M-class  and  X-
       class Tesla &tm; products from the Kepler family.  Not supported on Quadro ® and Tesla
       &tm; C-class products.  Requires administrator privileges.  See  GPU  Operation  Mode  for
       more information about GOM.  GOM changes take effect after reboot.  The reboot requirement
       might be removed in the future.  Compute only GOMs don't  support  WDDM  (Windows  Display
       Driver Model)

   -r, --gpu-reset
       Trigger  secondary  bus reset of the GPU.  Can be used to reset GPU HW state in situations
       that would otherwise require a machine reboot.  Typically useful if a double bit ECC error
       has  occurred.  Requires -i switch to target specific device.  Requires root.  There can't
       be any  applications  using  this  particular  device  (e.g.  CUDA  application,  graphics
       application  like  X  server,  monitoring  application like other instance of nvidia-smi).
       There also can't be any compute applications running on any other GPU in the system.  Only
       on supported devices from Fermi and Kepler family running on Linux.

       GPU  reset  is  not  guaranteed  to work in all cases.  In some situations there may be HW
       components on the board that fail to revert back to an initial state following  the  reset
       request.  This is more likely to be seen on Fermi-generation products vs. Kepler, and more
       likely to be seen if the reset is being performed on a hung GPU.

       Following a reset, it is recommended that the health of the GPU be verified before further
       use.  The nvidia-healthmon tool is a good choice for this test.  If the GPU is not healthy
       a complete reset should be instigated by power  cycling  the  node.   nvidia-healthmon  is
       distributed as a part of TDK http://developer.nvidia.com/tesla-deployment-kit

   -ac, --applications-clocks=MEM_CLOCK,GRAPHICS_CLOCK
       Specifies  maximum  <memory,graphics>  clocks as a pair (e.g. 2000,800) that defines GPU's
       speed while running applications on a GPU.  Only on supported device from  Kepler  family.
       Requires root.

   -rac, --reset-application-clocks
       Resets  the application clocks to the default value.  Only on supported device from Kepler
       family.  Requires root.

   -pl, --power-limit=POWER_LIMIT
       Specifies maximum power limit in watts.  Accepts integer and floating point numbers.  Only
       on  supported devices from Kepler family.  Requires administrator privileges.  Value needs
       to be between Min and Max Power Limit as reported by nvidia-smi.

   [plus optional]
   -i, --id=ID
       Modify a single specified GPU.  The specified id may be the GPU/Unit's  0-based  index  in
       the  natural  enumeration returned by the driver, the GPU's board serial number, the GPU's
       UUID, or the GPU's PCI bus ID (as domain:bus:device.function in hex).  It  is  recommended
       that  users  desiring  consistency use either UUID or PCI bus ID, since device enumeration
       ordering is not guaranteed to be consistent between reboots and board serial number  might
       be shared between multiple GPUs on the same board.

   UNIT MODIFICATION OPTIONS
   -t, --toggle-led=STATE
       Set the LED indicator state on the front and back of the unit to the specified color.  See
       the (UNIT ATTRIBUTES) section for a description of the LED  states.   Allowed  colors  are
       0|GREEN and 1|AMBER.  Requires root.

   [plus optional]
   -i, --id=ID
       Modify  a  single  specified  Unit.   The  specified id is the Unit's 0-based index in the
       natural enumeration returned by the driver.

   SHOW DTD OPTIONS
   --dtd
       Display Device or Unit DTD.

   [plus optional]
   -f FILE, --filename=FILE
       Redirect query output to the specified file in place of the default stdout.  The specified
       file will be overwritten.

   -u, --unit
       Display Unit DTD instead of device DTD.

GPU ATTRIBUTES

       The  following  list  describes  all possible data returned by the -q device query option.
       Unless otherwise noted all numerical results are base 10 and unitless.

   Timestamp
       The current system timestamp at the time nvidia-smi was invoked.  Format  is  "Day-of-week
       Month Day HH:MM:SS Year".

   Driver Version
       The version of the installed NVIDIA display driver.  This is an alphanumeric string.

   Attached GPUs
       The  number  of  accessible  NVIDIA  GPUs.  Under Linux all NVIDIA GPUs are expected to be
       accessible.

   Product Name
       The official product name of the GPU.  This is an alphanumeric string.  For all products.

   Display Mode
       A flag that indicates whether a display is attached to the  GPU.  "Enabled"  indicates  an
       attached display. "Disabled" indicates otherwise.

   Persistence Mode
       A  flag  that  indicates whether persistence mode is enabled for the GPU.  Value is either
       "Enabled" or "Disabled".  When persistence mode  is  enabled  the  NVIDIA  driver  remains
       loaded  even when no active clients, such as X11 or nvidia-smi, exist.  This minimizes the
       driver load latency associated with running dependent apps, such as  CUDA  programs.   For
       all CUDA-capable products.  Linux only.

   Driver Model
       On Windows, the TCC and WDDM driver models are supported.  The driver model can be changed
       with the  (-dm)  or  (-fdm)  flags.   The  TCC  driver  model  is  optimized  for  compute
       applications.   I.E.  kernel launch times will be quicker with TCC.  The WDDM driver model
       is designed for graphics applications and is not  recommended  for  compute  applications.
       Linux does not support multiple driver models, and will always have the value of "N/A".

       Current        The driver model currently in use.  Always "N/A" on Linux.

       Pending        The  driver  model  that  will be used on the next reboot.  Always "N/A" on
                      Linux.

   Serial Number
       This number matches the serial number physically printed on each board.  It is a  globally
       unique immutable alphanumeric value.

   GPU UUID
       This  value  is the globally unique immutable alphanumeric identifier of the GPU.  It does
       not correspond to any physical label on the board.

   VBIOS Version
       The BIOS of the GPU board.

   Inforom Version
       Version numbers for each object in the GPU board's inforom  storage.   The  inforom  is  a
       small,  persistent store of configuration and state data for the GPU.  All inforom version
       fields are numerical.  It can be useful to know these version  numbers  because  some  GPU
       features are only available with inforoms of a certain version or higher.

       If  any  of the fields below return Unknown Error additional Inforom verification check is
       performed and appropriate warning message is displayed.

       Image Version  Version for the OEM configuration data.   Global  version  of  the  infoROM
                      image.   Image version just like VBIOS version uniquely describes the exact
                      version of the infoROM flashed on the board in contrast to  infoROM  object
                      version which is only an indicator of supported features.

       OEM Object     Version for the OEM configuration data.

       ECC Object     Version for the ECC recording data.

       Power Object   Version for the power management data.

   GPU Operation Mode
       GOM allows to reduce power usage and optimize GPU throughput by disabling GPU features.

       Each GOM is designed to meet specific user needs.

       In ALL_ON mode everything is enabled and running at full speed.

       The  COMPUTE  mode is designed for running only compute tasks. Graphics operations are not
       allowed.

       The LOW_DP mode is designed for running graphics  applications  that  don't  require  high
       bandwidth double precision.

       GOM can be changed with the (--gom) flag.

       Supported  on  GK110  M-class and X-class Tesla &tm; products from the Kepler family.  Not
       supported on Quadro &reg; and Tesla &tm; C-class products.

       Current        The GOM currently in use.

       Pending        The GOM that will be used on the next reboot.

   PCI
       Basic PCI info for the device.  Some of this information may  change  whenever  cards  are
       added/removed/moved in a system.  For all products.

       Bus            PCI bus number, in hex

       Device         PCI device number, in hex

       Domain         PCI domain number, in hex

       Device Id      PCI vendor device id, in hex

       Sub System Id  PCI Sub System id, in hex

       Bus Id         PCI bus id as "domain:bus:device.function", in hex

   GPU Link information
       The PCIe link generation and bus width

       Current        The  current  link generation and width.  These may be reduced when the GPU
                      is not in use.

       Maximum        The maximum link generation and width 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.

   Fan Speed
       The fan speed value is the percent of maximum speed that the  device's  fan  is  currently
       intended  to  run at.  It ranges from 0 to 100%.  Note: The reported speed is the intended
       fan speed.  If the fan is physically blocked and unable to  spin,  this  output  will  not
       match  the  actual  fan  speed.   Many parts do not report fan speeds because they rely on
       cooling via fans in the surrounding enclosure.  For all discrete products  with  dedicated
       fans.

   Performance State
       The  current performance state for the GPU.  States range from P0 (maximum performance) to
       P12 (minimum performance).

   Clocks Throttle Reasons
       Retrieves information about factors that are reducing the frequency of  clocks.   Only  on
       supported Tesla devices from Kepler family.

       If  all  throttle reasons are returned as "Not Active" it means that clocks are running as
       high as possible.

       Idle           Nothing is running on the GPU and the clocks are dropping  to  Idle  state.
                      This limiter may be removed in a later release.

       User Defined Clocks
                      GPU  clocks  are  limited  by user specified limit.  E.g. set by nvidia-smi
                      --applications-clocks=

       SW Power Cap   SW Power Scaling algorithm is reducing the clocks  below  requested  clocks
                      because  the  GPU is consuming too much power.  E.g. SW power cap limit can
                      be changed with nvidia-smi --power-limit=

       HW Slowdown    HW Slowdown (reducing the core clocks by a factor of 2 or more) is engaged.

                      This is an indicator of:
                      * temperature being too high
                      * External Power Brake Assertion is triggered (e.g.  by  the  system  power
                      supply)
                      * Power draw is too high and Fast Trigger protection is reducing the clocks
                      * May be also reported during PState or clock change
                      ** This behavior may be removed in a later release

       Unknown        Some other unspecified factor is reducing the clocks.

   Memory Usage
       On-board  memory  information.  Reported total memory is affected by ECC state.  If ECC is
       enabled the total available memory is decreased by several percent, due to  the  requisite
       parity  bits.  The driver may also reserve a small amount of memory for internal use, even
       without active work on the GPU.  For all products.

       Total          Total installed GPU memory.

       Used           Total memory allocated by active contexts.

       Free           Total free memory.

   Compute Mode
       The compute mode flag indicates whether individual or multiple  compute  applications  may
       run on the GPU.

       "DEFAULT" means multiple contexts are allowed per device.

       "EXCLUSIVE_THREAD" means only one context is allowed per device, usable from one thread at
       a time.

       "EXCLUSIVE_PROCESS" means only one context is allowed per  device,  usable  from  multiple
       threads at a time.

       "PROHIBITED" means no contexts are allowed per device (no compute apps).

       "EXCLUSIVE_PROCESS"  was  added  in  CUDA  4.0.   Prior  CUDA  releases supported only one
       exclusive mode, which is equivalent to "EXCLUSIVE_THREAD" in CUDA 4.0 and beyond.

       For all CUDA-capable products.

   Utilization
       Utilization rates report how busy each GPU is over time, and can be used to determine  how
       much an application is using the GPUs in the system.

       GPU            Percent  of  time over the past second during which one or more kernels was
                      executing on the GPU.

       Memory         Percent of time over the past second during which  global  (device)  memory
                      was being read or written.

   Ecc Mode
       A  flag  that  indicates  whether  ECC  support  is  enabled.   May be either "Enabled" or
       "Disabled".  Changes to ECC mode require a reboot.  Requires Inforom  ECC  object  version
       1.0 or higher.

       Current        The ECC mode that the GPU is currently operating under.

       Pending        The ECC mode that the GPU will operate under after the next reboot.

   ECC Errors
       NVIDIA GPUs can provide error counts for various types of ECC errors.  Some ECC errors are
       either single or double bit, where single bit errors are corrected and double  bit  errors
       are  uncorrectable.   Texture memory errors may be correctable via resend or uncorrectable
       if the resend fails.  These errors are  available  across  two  timescales  (volatile  and
       aggregate).  Single bit ECC errors are automatically corrected by the HW and do not result
       in data corruption.  Double bit errors are detected but not corrected.  Please see the ECC
       documents  on  the  web  for  information  on compute application behavior when double bit
       errors occur.  Volatile error counters track the number of errors detected since the  last
       driver  load.   Aggregate  error  counts  persist  indefinitely and thus act as a lifetime
       counter.

       A note about volatile counts: On Windows this is once per boot.  On Linux this can be more
       frequent.   On  Linux  the  driver  unloads  when  no  active  clients  exist.   Hence, if
       persistence mode is enabled or there is always a driver client  active  (e.g.  X11),  then
       Linux  also sees per-boot behavior.  If not, volatile counts are reset each time a compute
       app is run.

       Tesla and Quadro products from the Fermi and Kepler family can  display  total  ECC  error
       counts, as well as a breakdown of errors based on location on the chip.  The locations are
       described below.  Location-based data for aggregate  error  counts  requires  Inforom  ECC
       object version 2.0.  All other ECC counts require ECC object version 1.0.

       Device Memory  Errors detected in global device memory.

       Register File  Errors detected in register file memory.

       L1 Cache       Errors detected in the L1 cache.

       L2 Cache       Errors detected in the L2 cache.

                      Texture Memory Parity errors detected in texture memory.

       Total          Total  errors  detected  across entire chip. Sum of Device Memory, Register
                      File, L1 Cache, L2 Cache and Texture Memory.

   Temperature
       Readings from temperature sensors on the board.  All readings are in degrees C.   Not  all
       products  support  all reading types.  In particular, products in module form factors that
       rely on case fans or passive cooling do not usually  provide  temperature  readings.   See
       below for restrictions.

       GPU            Core GPU temperature.  For all discrete and S-class products.

   Power Readings
       Power  readings  help to shed light on the current power usage of the GPU, and the factors
       that affect that usage.  When power management is enabled the GPU limits power draw  under
       load  to  fit  within  a predefined power envelope by manipulating the current performance
       state.  See below for limits of availability.

       Power State    Power State is deprecated and has been  renamed  to  Performance  State  in
                      2.285.   To  maintain XML compatibility, in XML format Performance State is
                      listed in both places.

       Power Management
                      A  flag  that  indicates  whether  power  management  is  enabled.   Either
                      "Supported" or "N/A".  Requires Inforom PWR object version 3.0 or higher or
                      Kepler device.

       Power Draw     The last measured  power  draw  for  the  entire  board,  in  watts.   Only
                      available  if  power  management is supported.  This reading is accurate to

NOTES

       On Linux, NVIDIA device files may be modified by nvidia-smi if run as  root.   Please  see
       the relevant section of the driver README file.

       The  -a and -g arguments are now deprecated in favor of -q and -i, respectively.  However,
       the old arguments still work for this release.

Known Issues

       -  On  Linux  when  X  Server  is running Used GPU Memory in Compute Processes section may
       contain value that is larger than the actual  value.  This  will  be  fixed  in  a  future
       release.

       - On Linux GPU Reset can't be triggered when there is pending GOM change.

       -  On  Linux  GPU Reset may not successfully change pending ECC mode. A full reboot may be
       required to enable the mode change.
