Tracking Power Use and Temperature #12

Closed aabbi closed 4 years ago

aabbi commented 4 years ago

Nvidia smi usually displays this information in its output by default. Would it be useful to include this information as well ?

If so, willing to work on adding it but would like to know if you have an opinion on which tab it should go on and should it be displayed as a graph or point in time ?

Hi, I think we can't add this now because the app really needs the Graph class and a lot of refactoring. Will try to do it tomorrow. But I haven't any idea of how it should be. I think that merging 2nd and 3rd tabs good idea, isn't it? Like Windows or gnome/kde system monitors. Then we can easily add power use and temperature. Also, I think that it should be 1 gpu per graph, not all gpus in one graph. If you like some of these ideas, let me know

Yes, merging the tabs would definitely be better as it both lets you compare and you don't need to switch tabs.

About multiple gpus - I haven't really used them so wouldn't be able to say if it is useful to compare the same metrics across multiple gpus or not.

I'll close this for now
