NVIDIA System Management Interface -- v370.28
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
compatible.

nvidia-smi [OPTION1 [ARG1]] [OPTION2 [ARG2]] ...
-h, --help Print usage information and exit.
LIST OPTIONS:
-L, --list-gpus Display a list of GPUs connected to the system.
SUMMARY OPTIONS:
<no arguments> Show a summary of GPUs connected to the system.
[plus any of]
-i, --id= Target a specific GPU.
-f, --filename= Log to a specified file, rather than to stdout.
-l, --loop= Probe until Ctrl+C at specified second interval.
QUERY OPTIONS:
-q, --query Display GPU or Unit info.
[plus any of]
-u, --unit Show unit, rather than GPU, attributes.
-i, --id= Target a specific GPU or Unit.
-f, --filename= Log to a specified file, rather than to stdout.
-x, --xml-format Produce XML output.
--dtd When showing xml output, embed DTD.
-d, --display= Display only selected information: MEMORY,
UTILIZATION, ECC, TEMPERATURE, POWER, CLOCK,
COMPUTE, PIDS, PERFORMANCE, SUPPORTED_CLOCKS,
PAGE_RETIREMENT, ACCOUNTING.
Flags can be combined with comma e.g. ECC,POWER.
Sampling data with max/min/avg is also returned
for POWER, UTILIZATION and CLOCK display types.
Doesn't work with -u or -x flags.
-l, --loop= Probe until Ctrl+C at specified second interval.
-lms, --loop-ms= Probe until Ctrl+C at specified millisecond interval.
SELECTIVE QUERY OPTIONS:
Allows the caller to pass an explicit list of properties to query.
[one of]
--query-gpu= Information about GPU.
Call --help-query-gpu for more info.
--query-supported-clocks= List of supported clocks.
Call --help-query-supported-clocks for more info.
--query-compute-apps= List of currently active compute processes.
Call --help-query-compute-apps for more info.
--query-accounted-apps= List of accounted compute processes.
Call --help-query-accounted-apps for more info.
--query-retired-pages= List of device memory pages that have been retired.
Call --help-query-retired-pages for more info.
[mandatory]
--format= Comma separated list of format options:
csv - comma separated values (MANDATORY)
noheader - skip the first line with column headers
nounits - don't print units for numerical
values
[plus any of]
-i, --id= Target a specific GPU or Unit.
-f, --filename= Log to a specified file, rather than to stdout.
-l, --loop= Probe until Ctrl+C at specified second interval.
-lms, --loop-ms= Probe until Ctrl+C at specified millisecond interval.
DEVICE MODIFICATION OPTIONS:
[any one of]
-pm, --persistence-mode= Set persistence mode: 0/DISABLED, 1/ENABLED
-e, --ecc-config= Toggle ECC support: 0/DISABLED, 1/ENABLED
-p, --reset-ecc-errors= Reset ECC error counts: 0/VOLATILE, 1/AGGREGATE
-c, --compute-mode= Set MODE for compute applications:
0/DEFAULT, 1/EXCLUSIVE_PROCESS,
2/PROHIBITED
--gom= Set GPU Operation Mode:
0/ALL_ON, 1/COMPUTE, 2/LOW_DP
-r --gpu-reset Trigger reset of the GPU.
Can be used to reset the GPU HW state in situations
that would otherwise require a machine reboot.
Typically useful if a double bit ECC error has
occurred.
Reset operations are not guarenteed to work in
all cases and should be used with caution.
--id= switch is mandatory for this switch
-vm --virt-mode= Switch GPU Virtualization Mode:
Sets GPU virtualization mode to 3/VGPU or 4/VSGA
Virtualization mode of a GPU can only be set when
it is running on a hypervisor.
-ac --applications-clocks= Specifies <memory,graphics> clocks as a
pair (e.g. 2000,800) that defines GPU's
speed in MHz while running applications on a GPU.
-rac --reset-applications-clocks
Resets the applications clocks to the default values.
-acp --applications-clocks-permission=
Toggles permission requirements for -ac and -rac commands:
0/UNRESTRICTED, 1/RESTRICTED
-pl --power-limit= Specifies maximum power management limit in watts.
-am --accounting-mode= Enable or disable Accounting Mode: 0/DISABLED, 1/ENABLED
-caa --clear-accounted-apps
Clears all the accounted PIDs in the buffer.
--auto-boost-default= Set the default auto boost policy to 0/DISABLED
or 1/ENABLED, enforcing the change only after the
last boost client has exited.
--auto-boost-permission=
Allow non-admin/root control over auto boost mode:
0/UNRESTRICTED, 1/RESTRICTED
[plus optional]
-i, --id= Target a specific GPU.
UNIT MODIFICATION OPTIONS:
-t, --toggle-led= Set Unit LED state: 0/GREEN, 1/AMBER
[plus optional]
-i, --id= Target a specific Unit.
SHOW DTD OPTIONS:
--dtd Print device DTD and exit.
[plus optional]
-f, --filename= Log to a specified file, rather than to stdout.
-u, --unit Show unit, rather than device, DTD.
--debug= Log encrypted debug information to a specified file.
