Monitor mode of nvitop.
(TERM: GNOME Terminal / OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (over SSH) / Locale: en_US.UTF-8)
nvitop is an interactive NVIDIA device and process monitoring tool. It has a colorful and informative interface that continuously updates the status of the devices and processes. As a resource monitor, it includes many features and options, such as tree-view, environment variable viewing, process filtering, process metrics monitoring, etc. Beyond that, the package also ships a CUDA device selection tool nvisel for deep learning researchers. It also provides handy APIs that allow developers to write their own monitoring tools. Please refer to section More than a Monitor and the full API references at https://nvitop.readthedocs.io for more information.

libncursesw)NOTE: The NVIDIA Management Library (NVML) is a C-based programmatic interface for monitoring and managing various states. The runtime version of the NVML library ships with the NVIDIA display driver (available at Download Drivers | NVIDIA), or can be downloaded as part of the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit (available at CUDA Toolkit | NVIDIA Developer). The lists of OS platforms and NVIDIA-GPUs supported by the NVML library can be found in the NVML API Reference.
This repository contains a Bash script to install/upgrade the NVIDIA drivers for Ubuntu Linux. For example:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop.git && cd nvitop
# Change to tty3 console (required for desktop users with GUI (tty2))
# Optional for SSH users
sudo chvt 3 # or use keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-LeftAlt-F3
bash install-nvidia-driver.sh --package=nvidia-driver-470 # install the R470 driver from ppa:graphics-drivers
bash install-nvidia-driver.sh --latest # install the latest driver from ppa:graphics-drivers
NVIDIA driver installer for Ubuntu Linux.
Run bash install-nvidia-driver.sh --help for more information.
* The curses library is a built-in module of Python on Unix-like systems, and it is supported by a third-party package called windows-curses on Windows using PDCurses. Inconsistent behavior of nvitop may occur on different terminal emulators on Windows, such as missing mouse support.
It is highly recommended to install nvitop in an isolated virtual environment. Simple installation and run via pipx:
pipx run nvitop
Install from PyPI (
pip3 install --upgrade nvitop
Install from conda-forge (
conda install -c conda-forge nvitop
Install the latest version from GitHub (
pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip3 install git+https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop.git#egg=nvitop
Or, clone this repo and install manually:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop.git
cd nvitop
pip3 install .
NOTE: If you encounter the "nvitop: command not found" error after installation, please check whether you have added the Python console script path (e.g., "${HOME}/.local/bin") to your PATH environment variable. Alternatively, you can use python3 -m nvitop.
MIG Device Support.
Query the device and process status. The output is similar to nvidia-smi, but has been enriched and colorized.
# Query the status of all devices
$ nvitop -1 # or use `python3 -m nvitop -1`
# Specify query devices (by integer indices)
$ nvitop -1 -o 0 1 # only show <GPU 0> and <GPU 1>
# Only show devices in `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` (by integer indices or UUID strings)
$ nvitop -1 -ov
# Only show GPU processes with the compute context (type: 'C' or 'C+G')
$ nvitop -1 -c
When the -1 switch is on, the result will be displayed ONLY ONCE (same as the default behavior of nvidia-smi). This is much faster and has lower resource usage. See Command Line Options for more command options.
There is also a CLI tool called nvisel that ships with the nvitop PyPI package. See CUDA Visible Devices Selection Tool for more information.
Run as a resource monitor:
# Monitor mode (when the display mode is omitted, `NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE` will be used)
$ nvitop # or use `python3 -m nvitop`
# Automatically configure the display mode according to the terminal size
$ nvitop -m auto # shortcut: `a` key
# Arbitrarily display as `full` mode
$ nvitop -m full # shortcut: `f` key
# Arbitrarily display as `compact` mode
$ nvitop -m compact # shortcut: `c` key
# Specify query devices (by integer indices)
$ nvitop -o 0 1 # only show <GPU 0> and <GPU 1>
# Only show devices in `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` (by integer indices or UUID strings)
$ nvitop -ov
# Only show GPU processes with the compute context (type: 'C' or 'C+G')
$ nvitop -c
# Use ASCII characters only
$ nvitop -U # useful for terminals without Unicode support
# For light terminals
$ nvitop --light
# For spectrum-like bar charts (requires the terminal supports 256-color)
$ nvitop --colorful
You can configure the default monitor mode with the NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE environment variable (default auto if not set). See Command Line Options and Environment Variables for more command options.
In monitor mode, you can use Ctrl-c / T / K keys to interrupt / terminate / kill a process. And it's recommended to terminate or kill a process in the tree-view screen (shortcut: t). For normal users, nvitop will shallow other users' processes (in low-intensity colors). For system administrators, you can use sudo nvitop to terminate other users' processes.
Also, to enter the process metrics screen, select a process and then press the Enter / Return key . nvitop dynamically displays the process metrics with live graphs.
Watch metrics for a specific process (shortcut: Enter / Return).
Press h for help or q to return to the terminal. See Keybindings for Monitor Mode for more shortcuts.
nvitop comes with a help screen (shortcut: h).
Build and run the Docker image using nvidia-docker:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop.git && cd nvitop # clone this repo first
docker build --tag nvitop:latest . # build the Docker image
docker run -it --rm --runtime=nvidia --gpus=all --pid=host nvitop:latest # run the Docker container
The Dockerfile has an optional build argument basetag (default: 450-signed-ubuntu22.04) for the tag of image nvcr.io/nvidia/driver.
NOTE: Don't forget to add the --pid=host option when running the container.
Run nvitop directly on the SSH session instead of a login shell:
ssh user@host -t nvitop # installed by `sudo pip3 install ...`
ssh user@host -t '~/.local/bin/nvitop' # installed by `pip3 install --user ...`
NOTE: Users need to add the -t option to allocate a pseudo-terminal over the SSH session for monitor mode.
Type nvitop --help for more command options:

[--format FORMAT] [--sep SEP | --newline | --null] [--no-sort]
CUDA visible devices selection tool.
options:
--help, -h Show this help message and exit.
--version, -V Show nvisel's version number and exit.
constraints:
--inherit [CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES], -i [CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES]
Inherit the given `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`. If the argument is omitted, use the
value from the environment. This means selecting a subset of the currently
CUDA-visible devices.
--account-as-free [USERNAME ...]
Account the used GPU memory of the given users as free memory.
If this option is specified but without argument, `$USER` will be used.
--min-count N, -c N Minimum number of devices to select. (default: 0)
The tool will fail (exit non-zero) if the requested resource is not available.
--max-count N, -C N Maximum number of devices to select. (default: all devices)
--count N, -n N Overriding both `--min-count N` and `--max-count N`.
--min-free-memory SIZE, -f SIZE
Minimum free memory of devices to select. (example value: 4GiB)
If this constraint is given, check against all devices.
--min-total-memory SIZE, -t SIZE
Minimum total memory of devices to select. (example value: 10GiB)
If this constraint is given, check against all devices.
--max-gpu-utilization RATE, -G RATE
Maximum GPU utilization rate of devices to select. (example value: 30)
If this constraint is given, check against all devices.
--max-memory-utilization RATE, -M RATE
Maximum memory bandwidth utilization rate of devices to select. (example value: 50)
If this constraint is given, check against all devices.
--tolerance TOL, --tol TOL
The constraints tolerance (in percentage). (default: 0, i.e., strict)
This option can loose the constraints if the requested resource is not available.
For example, set `--tolerance=20` will accept a device with only 4GiB of free
memory when set `--min-free-memory=5GiB`.
formatting:
--format FORMAT, -O FORMAT
The output format of the selected device identifiers. (default: index)
If any MIG device found, the output format will be fallback to `uuid`.
--sep SEP, --separator SEP, -s SEP
Separator for the output. (default: ',')
--newline Use newline character as separator for the output, equivalent to `--sep=$'\n'`.
--null, -0 Use null character ('\x00') as separator for the output. This option corresponds
to the `-0` option of `xargs`.
--no-sort, -S Do not sort the device by memory usage and GPU utilization.
nvitop provides two builtin callbacks for TensorFlow (Keras) and PyTorch Lightning.
from tensorflow.python.keras.utils.multi_gpu_utils import multi_gpu_model
from tensorflow.python.keras.callbacks import TensorBoard
from nvitop.callbacks.keras import GpuStatsLogger
gpus = ['/gpu:0', '/gpu:1'] # or `gpus = [0, 1]` or `gpus = 2`
model = Xception(weights=None, ..)
model = multi_gpu_model(model, gpus) # optional
model.compile(..)
tb_callback = TensorBoard(log_dir='./logs') # or `keras.callbacks.CSVLogger`
gpu_stats = GpuStatsLogger(gpus)
model.fit(.., callbacks=[gpu_stats, tb_callback])
NOTE: Users should assign a keras.callbacks.TensorBoard callback or a keras.callbacks.CSVLogger callback to the model. And the GpuStatsLogger callback should be placed before the keras.callbacks.TensorBoard / keras.callbacks.CSVLogger callback.
from lightning.pytorch import Trainer
from nvitop.callbacks.lightning import GpuStatsLogger
gpu_stats = GpuStatsLogger()
trainer = Trainer(gpus=[..], logger=True, callbacks=[gpu_stats])
NOTE: Users should assign a logger to the trainer.
Please refer to Resource Metric Collector for an example.
nvitop can be easily integrated into other applications. You can use nvitop to make your own monitoring tools. The full API references host at https://nvitop.readthedocs.io.
A minimal script to monitor the GPU devices based on APIs from nvitop:

The results can be easily logged into TensorBoard or a CSV file. For example:
import os
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch.utils.tensorboard import SummaryWriter
from nvitop import CudaDevice, ResourceMetricCollector
from nvitop.callbacks.tensorboard import add_scalar_dict
# Build networks and prepare datasets
...
# Logger and status collector
writer = SummaryWriter()
collector = ResourceMetricCollector(devices=CudaDevice.all(), # log all visible CUDA devices and use the CUDA ordinal
root_pids={os.getpid()}, # only log the descendant processes of the current process
interval=1.0) # snapshot interval for background daemon thread
# Start training
global_step = 0
for epoch in range(num_epoch):
with collector(tag='train'):
for batch in train_dataset:
with collector(tag='batch'):
metrics = train(net, batch)
global_step += 1
add_scalar_dict(writer, 'train', metrics, global_step=global_step)
add_scalar_dict(writer, 'resources', # tag='resources/train/batch/...'
collector.collect(),
global_step=global_step)
add_scalar_dict(writer, 'resources', # tag='resources/train/...'
collector.collect(),
global_step=epoch)
with collector(tag='validate'):
metrics = validate(net, validation_dataset)
add_scalar_dict(writer, 'validate', metrics, global_step=epoch)
add_scalar_dict(writer, 'resources', # tag='resources/validate/...'
collector.collect(),
global_step=epoch)
Another example for logging into a CSV file:
import datetime
import time
import pandas as pd
from nvitop import ResourceMetricCollector
collector = ResourceMetricCollector(root_pids={1}, interval=2.0) # log all devices and all GPU processes
df = pd.DataFrame()
with collector(tag='resources'):
for _ in range(60):
# Do something
time.sleep(60)
metrics = collector.collect()
df_metrics = pd.DataFrame.from_records(metrics, index=[len(df)])
df = pd.concat([df, df_metrics], ignore_index=True)
# Flush to CSV file ...
df.insert(0, 'time', df['resources/timestamp'].map(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp))
df.to_csv('results.csv', index=False)
You can also daemonize the collector in the background using collect_in_background or ResourceMetricCollector.daemonize with callback functions.
from nvitop import Device, ResourceMetricCollector, collect_in_background
logger = ...
def on_collect(metrics): # will be called periodically
if logger.is_closed(): # closed manually by user
return False
logger.log(metrics)
return True
def on_stop(collector): # will be called only once at stop
if not logger.is_closed():
logger.close() # cleanup
# Record metrics to the logger in the background every 5 seconds.
# It will collect 5-second mean/min/max for each metric.
collect_in_background(
on_collect,
ResourceMetricCollector(Device.cuda.all()),
interval=5.0,
on_stop=on_stop,
)
or simply:
ResourceMetricCollector(Device.cuda.all()).daemonize(
on_collect,
interval=5.0,
on_stop=on_stop,
)

NOTE: Some entry values may be 'N/A' (type: NaType, a subclass of str) when the corresponding resources are not applicable. The NA value supports arithmetic operations. It acts like math.nan: float.
>>> from nvitop import NA
>>> NA
'N/A'
>>> 'memory usage: {}'.format(NA) # NA is an instance of `str`
'memory usage: N/A'
>>> NA.lower() # NA is an instance of `str`
'n/a'
>>> NA.ljust(5) # NA is an instance of `str`
'N/A '
>>> NA + 'str' # string contamination if the operand is a string
'N/Astr'
>>> float(NA) # explicit conversion to float (`math.nan`)
nan
>>> NA + 1 # auto-casting to float if the operand is a number
nan
>>> NA * 1024 # auto-casting to float if the operand is a number
nan
>>> NA / (1024 * 1024) # auto-casting to float if the operand is a number
nan
You can use entry != 'N/A' conditions to avoid exceptions. It's safe to use float(entry) for numbers while NaType will be converted to math.nan. For example:
memory_used: Union[int, NaType] = device.memory_used() # memory usage in bytes or `'N/A'`
memory_used_in_mib: float = float(memory_used) / (1 << 20) # memory usage in Mebibytes (MiB) or `math.nan`
It's safe to compare NaType with numbers, but NaType is always larger than any number:
devices_by_used_memory = sorted(Device.all(), key=Device.memory_used, reverse=True) # it's safe to compare `'N/A'` with numbers
devices_by_free_memory = sorted(Device.all(), key=Device.memory_free, reverse=True) # please add `memory_free != 'N/A'` checks if sort in descending order here
See nvitop.NaType documentation for more details.
