Nvidia-smi doesn't show GPU Memory Usage and full path for Process Names

发布于 2020-11-30 11:41:30

I ran the command nvidia-smi on my windows 10 PC.

  • Why does it display GPU Memory Usage as "N/A"?
  • How do I access full path for each Process names that is active? (right now it only shows a part of the path)

Are there any alternative ways to access such information other than nvidia-smi?

  • Why does it display GPU Memory Usage as "N/A"?

As talonmies answered, on WDDM systems, the NVIDIA driver doesn't manage GPU memory. The WDDM subsystem does.

You can check this by running a command nvidia-smi --help-query-compute-apps, then it shows the reason under "used_gpu_memory" or "used_memory".
Mine says Not available on Windows when running in WDDM mode because Windows KMD manages all the memory not NVIDIA driver.

  • How do I access full path for each Process names that is active? (right now it only shows a part of the path)

You can access the full paths by running a command nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps=pid,process_name,used_memory --format=csv.

Solution on Windows: Run Sysinternals Process Explorer as Administrator, then switch on columns "GPU Dedicated" and "GPU Committed" to see per-process GPU memory usage.

Mamba is a new state space model architecture showing promising performance on information-dense data such as language modeling, where previous subquadratic models fall short of Transformers. It is based on the line of progress on structured state space models, with an efficient hardware-aware design and implementation in the spirit of FlashAttention.
