Maybe the data format changed again. :/ Hi which nvidia-driver version are you using? Can you provide a short excerpt of nvidia-smi dmon -s pucm thanks! Setting to needs-info (In reply to David Redondo from comment #2) > Hi which nvidia-driver version are you using? > > Can you provide a short excerpt of nvidia-smi dmon -s pucm > > thanks! Version: 550.54.14 Hi, we still need nvidia-smi dmon -s pucm output. So I can check if it changed/can be parsed by current code (In reply to David Redondo from comment #5) > Hi, we still need > > nvidia-smi dmon -s pucm > > output. So I can check if it changed/can be parsed by current code Sorry didn't see the second part of your message.

Not showing anything means 0.
I told you earlier the wrong command. For processes it should be
nvidia-smi pmon
if that is also 0 everywhere else, it means things are really 0.

I can see in nvtop that stable diffusion is using about 2 gigs worth of vram, but nothing in system monitor. We rely on what nvidia-smi reports. Not sure where nvtop gets the info. Another thing I am noticing is that the process kwin_wayland is reporting 40% gpu usage and 35% gpu memory usage. These numbers aren't changing. While nvtop and cpu-x are reporting different numbers as the amount of graphics usage and memory changes. I was suspicious of this so I restarted system monitor. Now kwin_wayland reports nothing while firefox is reporting an unmoving 20% gpu usage and 15% memory usage. The numbers don't appear to be updating at all. While the vast majority of process that nvtop reports as using some amount of gpu resources report nothing. (In reply to David Redondo from comment #11) > We rely on what nvidia-smi reports. Not sure where nvtop gets the info. Understandable, I took a look at their github page and I believe they use the nvml library directly. Supposedly the same library that nvidia-smi uses. However, if I run nvidia-smi by itself with no args.

Perhaps the formatted output command is somehow messed up? Or are these values just too small to bother reporting a percentage above zero? If it's stable_diffusion maybe there is a distinction between compute and graphics? (In reply to David Redondo from comment #15) > If it's stable_diffusion maybe there is a distinction between compute and > graphics? Your guess is as good as mine here? I just new it used a lot of vram, so it would probably be good to test with.

I thought about that, but since the gpu usage doesn't seem to be updating either. I couldn't confirm it, by closing stable diffusion while system monitor was open.

Another thing I tried was opening and closing system monitor in between running stable diffusion to see if the results would be different, but it did not appear to have any effect on the reported values in system monitor. Gonna close this, after reading the man pages and help pages for nvidia-smi. It clearly shows more useful information when running nvidia-smi by it itself rather than when running it in process monitor mode. That isn't a problem for kde to solve. |
