About:
Nvtop is a GPU monitoring tool with an interactive interface, similar to htop but for NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel graphics cards. It provides real-time visualization of GPU utilization, memory usage, temperatures, and power consumption. The tool allows users to manage processes, including identifying and terminating resource-intensive applications directly from the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Real-time monitoring of GPU metrics (usage, temp, power, memory)
  • Interactive process management (sort, filter, and kill processes)
  • Support for NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs
  • Visualization of historical data and per-process usage
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring deep learning training jobs and resource allocation
  • Debugging performance bottlenecks in graphics or compute applications
  • Managing GPU resources on headless servers
Alternatives:
  • nvidia-smi – Nvtop offers a more user-friendly, interactive, and visual interface compared to the standard command-line output of nvidia-smi.
  • htop – While htop is excellent for CPU/RAM monitoring, Nvtop specifically focuses on GPU metrics and hardware acceleration details.
