Create NVIDIA GPU usage/temperature widget #548

Open tronfy opened 1 year ago

tronfy commented 1 year ago

Adds widget/contrib/nvidia.lua, for accessing NVIDIA GPU usage and temperature info.

Requires nvidia-smi to be installed. This is made clear in a comment and in the proposed wiki page for the widget.

As this widget is quite simple, I'd suggest creating a watch recipe instead:

local nvidia = awful.widget.watch( -- dependency: nvidia-smi
    "nvidia-smi --query-gpu=utilization.gpu,temperature.gpu --format=csv,noheader,nounits",
    5, -- timeout in seconds
    function(widget, stdout)
        local usage, temp = stdout:match("([^,]+),([^,]+)")

        widget:set_text(string.format("%d%% %.1f", usage, temp)) -- customize here
end)
