GPU-PLOT(1)

NAME
gpu-plot - continuously update and plot critical GPU parameters as a function of time

SYNOPSIS
gpu-plot [--help | --about]
gpu-plot [--no_fan] [--stdin] [--simlog] [--ltz] [--sleep N] [--debug]

CONFIGURATION
In order to get maximum capability of these utilities, you should be running with a kernel that provides support of the GPUs you have installed. If using AMD GPUs, installing the latest amdgpu driver package or the latest ROCm release, may provide additional capabilities. If you have Nvidia GPUs installed, nvidia-smi must also be installed in order for the utility reading of the cards to be possible. Writing to GPUs is currently only possible for AMD GPUs, and only with compatible cards and with the the AMD ppfeaturemask set to 0xfffd7fff. This can be accomplished by adding amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd7fff to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT value in /etc/default/grub and executing sudo update-grub.

DESCRIPTION
gpu-plot will continuously plot a trend of critical GPU parameters for all compatible GPUs.

OPTIONS

--about
    Will display details about gpu-plot.

--ltz
    Use local time zone instead of UTC for displays and logging.

--no_fan
    Will exclude fan information from the display. Useful with watercooled GPUs.

--stdin
    Will read data from stdin. This is useful to display plots of a logfile save with gpu-mon.

--simlog
    When used with the --stdin option, it will simulate the reading of data from the logfile at a rate define by --sleep.

--sleep N
    Specifies N, the number of seconds to sleep between updates.

--debug
    Will output additional useful debug/troubleshooting details to a log file.

-h, --help
    Display help text and exit.

EXAMPLES
gpu-plot --sleep 5 --ltz
Will open a Gtk window that will display plots of operation parameters for all compatible GPU's that updates every 5s. Time stamps displayed will use local time zone.

cat logfile | gpu-plot --stdin --simlog --sleep 1
Will open a Gtk window that will display plots of the GPU operation data in the specified logfile to simulate streamed data with a 1 sec interval.

FILES

/usr/share/misc/pci.ids
    The system list of all known AMD PCI ID's (vendors, devices, classes and subclasses). It can be updated with the update-pciids command.

/sys/class/drm/card*/device/pp_od_clk_voltage
    Special driver file for each AMD GPU required for some rickslab-gpu-utils.

/etc/default/grub
    The grub defaults file where amdgpu.ppfeaturemask needs to be set.

BUGS
Known to not work well with Fiji ProDuo cards and will issue warning messages for Fiji Nano cards. Please report any additional bugs/issues at https://github.com/Ricks-Lab/amdgpu-utils
