SYNOPSIS
gpustat [options]
DESCRIPTION
gpustat displays GPU status in a concise format, similar to nvidia-smi but more readable. It shows GPU utilization, memory usage, temperature, and running processes.
The tool is designed for quick monitoring of NVIDIA GPUs during machine learning training or GPU-intensive tasks.
PARAMETERS
-p, --show-pid
Show process PIDs.-u, --show-user

CAVEATS
Requires NVIDIA GPU and drivers. Uses nvidia-smi internally. Not suitable for non-NVIDIA GPUs. Process info needs appropriate permissions.
HISTORY
gpustat was created by Jongwook Choi as a simple GPU monitoring tool for machine learning practitioners. It provides a cleaner alternative to nvidia-smi's verbose output, focusing on essential metrics.
