nvidia-smi命令详解
1. nvidia-smi命令介绍
在深度学习等场景中，nvidia-smi命令是我们经常接触到的一个命令，用来查看GPU的占用情况，可以说是一个必须要学会的命令了，普通用户一般用的比较多的就是nvidia-smi的命令，其实掌握了这一个命令也就能够覆盖绝大多数场景了，但是本质求真务实的态度，本文调研了相关资料，整理了一些比较常用的nvidia-smi命令的其他用法。
2. nvidia-smi 支持的 GPU
NVIDIA 的 SMI 工具基本上支持自 2011 年以来发布的任何 NVIDIA GPU。其中包括来自 Fermi 和更高架构系列（Kepler、Maxwell、Pascal、Volta , Turing, Ampere等）的 Tesla、Quadro 和 GeForce 设备。
支持的产品包括：
特斯拉：S1070、S2050、C1060、C2050/70、M2050/70/90、X2070/90、K10、K20、K20X、K40、K80、M40、P40、P100、V100、A100、H100。
Quadro：4000、5000、6000、7000、M2070-Q、K 系列、M 系列、P 系列、RTX 系列
GeForce：不同级别的支持，可用的指标少于 Tesla 和 Quadro 产品。

下面详细介绍一下每个部分分别表示什么：
下面是上图的一些具体介绍，比较简单的我就不列举了，只列举一些不常见的：
持久模式：persistence mode 能够让 GPU 更快响应任务，待机功耗增加。
关闭 persistence mode 同样能够启动任务。
持续模式虽然耗能大，但是在新的GPU应用启动时，花费的时间更少
风扇转速：主动散热的显卡一般会有这个参数，服务器显卡一般是被动散热，这个参数显示N/A。
从0到100%之间变动，这个速度是计算机期望的风扇转速，实际情况下如果风扇堵转，可能打不到显示的转速。
有的设备不会返回转速，因为它不依赖风扇冷却而是通过其他外设保持低温（比如有些实验室的服务器是常年放在空调房间里的）。
温度：单位是摄氏度。
性能状态：从P0到P12，P0表示最大性能，P12表示状态最小性能。
Disp.A：Display Active，表示GPU的显示是否初始化。
ECC纠错：这个只有近几年的显卡才具有这个功能，老版显卡不具备这个功能。
MIG：Multi-Instance GPU，多实例显卡技术，支持将一张显卡划分成多张显卡使用，目前只支持安培架构显卡。
新的多实例GPU (MIG)特性允许GPU(从NVIDIA安培架构开始)被安全地划分为多达7个独立的GPU实例。
用于CUDA应用，为多个用户提供独立的GPU资源，以实现最佳的GPU利用率。
对于GPU计算能力未完全饱和的工作负载，该特性尤其有益，因此用户可能希望并行运行不同的工作负载，以最大化利用率。
开启MIG的显卡使用nvidia-smi命令如下所示：

NVIDIA System Management Interface -- v450.172.01
NVSMI provides monitoring information for Tesla and select Quadro devices.
The data is presented in either a plain text or an XML format, via stdout or a file.
NVSMI also provides several management operations for changing the 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 wrappers to NVML are also available. The output of NVSMI is
not guaranteed to be backwards compatible; NVML and the bindings are backwards

（6）nvidia-smi -pm
在 Linux 上，您可以将 GPU 设置为持久模式，以保持加载 NVIDIA 驱动程序，即使没有应用程序正在访问这些卡。 当您运行一系列短作业时，这特别有用。 持久模式在每个空闲 GPU 上使用更多瓦特，但可以防止每次启动 GPU 应用程序时出现相当长的延迟。 如果您为 GPU 分配了特定的时钟速度或功率限制（因为卸载 NVIDIA 驱动程序时这些更改会丢失），这也是必要的。 通过运行以下命令在所有 GPU 上启用持久性模式：
nvidia-smi -pm 1
也可以指定开启某个显卡的持久模式：
nvidia-smi -pm 1 -i 0

（1）使用 nvidia-smi 查看系统/GPU 拓扑和 NVLink
要正确利用更高级的 NVIDIA GPU 功能（例如 GPU Direct），正确配置系统拓扑至关重要。 拓扑是指各种系统设备（GPU、InfiniBand HCA、存储控制器等）如何相互连接以及如何连接到系统的 CPU。 某些拓扑类型会降低性能甚至导致某些功能不可用。 为了帮助解决此类问题，nvidia-smi 支持系统拓扑和连接查询：
nvidia-smi topo --matrix #查看系统/GPU 拓扑 nvidia-smi nvlink --status #查询 NVLink 连接本身以确保状态、功能和运行状况。 nvidia-smi nvlink --capabilities #查询 NVLink 连接本身以确保状态、功能和运行状况。
