nvidiagpu_top
A terminal UI for monitoring NVIDIA GPU metrics in real-time.
Features
- Real-time GPU metrics (power, temperature, utilization, clocks)
- Memory usage with visual bars
- Process monitoring with VRAM allocation, SM utilization, CPU%, and runtime
- Historical charts for GPU metrics
- GPU topology view (NVLink, PCIe interconnects)
- Detailed GPU info overlay
Note on Data Availability
Unlike AMD's open-source drivers, which expose detailed GPU internals and enable feature-rich tools like amdgpu_top, NVIDIA's proprietary drivers provide limited access to GPU metrics. This tool works within those constraints, using nvidia-smi to surface what data is available.
Requirements
- Linux with NVIDIA drivers
nvidia-smiin PATH

cargo build --release
Usage
