Detailed Description

This chapter describes NVML operations that change the state of the device. Each of these requires root/admin access. Non-admin users will see an NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION error code when invoking any of these methods.

Function Documentation

nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlDeviceClearEccErrorCounts (nvmlDevice_t device, nvmlEccCounterType_t counterType)

Clear the ECC error and other memory error counts for the device.

For Kepler (TM) or newer fully supported devices. Only applicable to devices with ECC. Requires NVML_INFOROM_ECC version 2.0 or higher to clear aggregate location-based ECC counts. Requires NVML_INFOROM_ECC version 1.0 or higher to clear all other ECC counts. Requires root/admin permissions. Requires ECC Mode to be enabled.

Sets all of the specified ECC counters to 0, including both detailed and total counts.

This operation takes effect immediately.

See nvmlMemoryErrorType_t for details on available counter types.

Parameters:

device The identifier of the target device
counterType Flag that indicates which type of errors should be cleared.

Returns:

*

NVML_SUCCESS if the error counts were cleared

*

NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized

*

NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if device is invalid or counterType is invalid

*

NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the device does not support this feature

*

NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION if the user doesn't have permission to perform this operation

*

NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible

*

NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error

nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlDeviceSetAPIRestriction (nvmlDevice_t device, nvmlRestrictedAPI_t apiType, nvmlEnableState_t isRestricted)

Changes the root/admin restructions on certain APIs. See nvmlRestrictedAPI_t for the list of supported APIs. This method can be used by a root/admin user to give non-root/admin access to certain otherwise-restricted APIs. The new setting lasts for the lifetime of the NVIDIA driver; it is not persistent. See nvmlDeviceGetAPIRestriction to query the current restriction settings.

For Kepler (TM) or newer fully supported devices. Requires root/admin permissions.

Parameters:

device The identifier of the target device
apiType Target API type for this operation
isRestricted The target restriction

Returns:

*

NVML_SUCCESS if isRestricted has been set

*

NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized

*

NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if device is invalid or apiType incorrect

*

NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the device does not support changing API restrictions or the device does not support the feature that api restrictions are being set for (E.G. Enabling/disabling auto boosted clocks is not supported by the device)

*

NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION if the user doesn't have permission to perform this operation

*

NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible

*

NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error

nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlDeviceSetApplicationsClocks (nvmlDevice_t device, unsigned int memClockMHz, unsigned int graphicsClockMHz)

Set clocks that applications will lock to.

Sets the clocks that compute and graphics applications will be running at. e.g. CUDA driver requests these clocks during context creation which means this property defines clocks at which CUDA applications will be running unless some overspec event occurs (e.g. over power, over thermal or external HW brake).

Can be used as a setting to request constant performance.

On Pascal and newer hardware, this will automatically disable automatic boosting of clocks.

On K80 and newer Kepler and Maxwell GPUs, users desiring fixed performance should also call nvmlDeviceSetAutoBoostedClocksEnabled to prevent clocks from automatically boosting above the clock value being set.

For Kepler (TM) or newer non-GeForce fully supported devices and Maxwell or newer GeForce devices. Requires root/admin permissions.

See nvmlDeviceGetSupportedMemoryClocks and nvmlDeviceGetSupportedGraphicsClocks for details on how to list available clocks combinations.

After system reboot or driver reload applications clocks go back to their default value. See nvmlDeviceResetApplicationsClocks.

Parameters:

device The identifier of the target device
memClockMHz Requested memory clock in MHz
graphicsClockMHz Requested graphics clock in MHz

Returns:

*

NVML_SUCCESS if new settings were successfully set

*

NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized

*

NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if device is invalid or memClockMHz and graphicsClockMHz is not a valid clock combination

*

NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION if the user doesn't have permission to perform this operation

*

NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the device doesn't support this feature

*

NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible

*

NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error

nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlDeviceSetComputeMode (nvmlDevice_t device, nvmlComputeMode_t mode)

Set the compute mode for the device.

For all products. Requires root/admin permissions.

The compute mode determines whether a GPU can be used for compute operations and whether it can be shared across contexts.

This operation takes effect immediately. Under Linux it is not persistent across reboots and always resets to 'Default'. Under windows it is persistent.

Under windows compute mode may only be set to DEFAULT when running in WDDM

See nvmlComputeMode_t for details on available compute modes.

Parameters:

device The identifier of the target device
mode The target compute mode

Returns:

*

NVML_SUCCESS if the compute mode was set

*

NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized

*

NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if device is invalid or mode is invalid

*

NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the device does not support this feature

*

NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION if the user doesn't have permission to perform this operation

*

NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible

*

NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error

nvmlDeviceGetComputeMode()

nvmlReturn_t DECLDIR nvmlDeviceSetDriverModel (nvmlDevice_t device, nvmlDriverModel_t driverModel, unsigned int flags)

Set the driver model for the device.

For Fermi (TM) or newer fully supported devices. For windows only. Requires root/admin permissions.

On Windows platforms the device driver can run in either WDDM or WDM (TCC) mode. If a display is attached to the device it must run in WDDM mode.

It is possible to force the change to WDM (TCC) while the display is still attached with a force flag (nvmlFlagForce). This should only be done if the host is subsequently powered down and the display is detached from the device before the next reboot.

This operation takes effect after the next reboot.

Windows driver model may only be set to WDDM when running in DEFAULT compute mode.

Change driver model to WDDM is not supported when GPU doesn't support graphics acceleration or will not support it after reboot. See nvmlDeviceSetGpuOperationMode.

See nvmlDriverModel_t for details on available driver models. See nvmlFlagDefault and nvmlFlagForce

Parameters:

device The identifier of the target device
driverModel The target driver model
flags Flags that change the default behavior

Returns:

*

NVML_SUCCESS if the driver model has been set

*

NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized

*

NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if device is invalid or driverModel is invalid

*

NVML_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the platform is not windows or the device does not support this feature

*

NVML_ERROR_NO_PERMISSION if the user doesn't have permission to perform this operation

*

NVML_ERROR_GPU_IS_LOST if the target GPU has fallen off the bus or is otherwise inaccessible

*

NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN on any unexpected error

Set the ECC mode for the device.

For Kepler (TM) or newer fully supported devices. Only applicable to devices with ECC. Requires NVML_INFOROM_ECC version 1.0 or higher. Requires root/admin permissions.

The ECC mode determines whether the GPU enables its ECC support.

This operation takes effect after the next reboot.

See nvmlEnableState_t for details on available modes.

Parameters:

device The identifier of the target device
ecc The target ECC mode

Returns:

*

NVML_SUCCESS if the ECC mode was set

*

NVML_ERROR_UNINITIALIZED if the library has not been successfully initialized

*

NVML_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT if device is invalid or ecc is invalid

*

Changing GOMs requires a reboot. The reboot requirement might be removed in the future.
