It shows GPU temperature, utilization percentage, memory usage (used/total), and a list of processes currently running on each GPU with their memory footprint. The tool is designed as a simpler, more readable alternative to nvidia-smi for quick GPU monitoring.\n\nThe package requires NVIDIA driver R450.00 or higher and uses NVIDIA's official python bindings (pynvml) to access GPU information. It supports Python 3.6 and later, offers watch mode for continuous monitoring, and can output results in JSON format. Options allow filtering by GPU index, displaying full command lines, fan speeds, power usage, and codec utilization. It is NVIDIA-only; AMD GPUs are not supported.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have NVIDIA GPUs and need quick, readable GPU status monitoring. The high install friction (external driver dependency) and NVIDIA-only support are real constraints, but the tool is actively maintained, permissively licensed, and widely used (top 5000 PyPI packages). Install it only if you already have NVIDIA drivers R450.00+ installed."},"id":"gpustat","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gpustat","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gpustat.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gpustat/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-08-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gpustat","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An utility to monitor NVIDIA GPU status and usage"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1088070,"position":4382,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.1"}
