`nvitop` is an interactive NVIDIA device and process monitoring tool. It has a colorful and informative interface that continuously updates the status of the devices and processes. As a resource monitor, it includes many features and options, such as tree-view, environment variable viewing, process filtering, process metrics monitoring, etc. Beyond that, the package also ships a [CUDA device selection tool `nvisel`](#cuda-visible-devices-selection-tool) for deep learning researchers. It also provides handy APIs that allow developers to write their own monitoring tools. Please refer to section [More than a Monitor](#more-than-a-monitor) and the full API references at <https://nvitop.readthedocs.io> for more information.

## Features

- **Informative and fancy output**: show more information than `nvidia-smi` with colorized fancy box drawing.
- **Monitor mode**: can run as a resource monitor, rather than print the results only once.
  - bar charts and history graphs
  - process sorting
  - process filtering
  - send signals to processes with a keystroke
  - tree-view screen for GPU processes and their parent processes
  - environment variable screen
  - help screen
  - mouse support
- **Interactive**: responsive for user input (from keyboard and/or mouse) in monitor mode. (vs. [gpustat](https://github.com/wookayin/gpustat) & [py3nvml](https://github.com/fbcotter/py3nvml))
- **Efficient**:
  - query device status using [*NVML Python bindings*](https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-ml-py) directly, instead of parsing the output of `nvidia-smi`. (vs. [nvidia-htop](https://github.com/peci1/nvidia-htop))
  - support sparse query and cache results with `TTLCache` from [cachetools](https://github.com/tkem/cachetools). (vs. [gpustat](https://github.com/wookayin/gpustat))
  - display information using the `curses` library rather than `print` with ANSI escape codes. (vs. [py3nvml](https://github.com/fbcotter/py3nvml))
  - asynchronously gather information using multi-threading and correspond to user input much faster. (vs. [nvtop](https://github.com/Syllo/nvtop))
- **Portable**: work on both Linux and Windows.
  - get host process information using the cross-platform library [psutil](https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil) instead of calling `ps -p <pid>` in a subprocess. (vs. [nvidia-htop](https://github.com/peci1/nvidia-htop) & [py3nvml](https://github.com/fbcotter/py3nvml))
  - written in pure Python, easy to install with `pip`. (vs. [nvtop](https://github.com/Syllo/nvtop))
- **Integrable**: easy to integrate into other applications, more than monitoring. (vs. [nvidia-htop](https://github.com/peci1/nvidia-htop) & [nvtop](https://github.com/Syllo/nvtop))

## Requirements

- Python 3.8+
- NVIDIA Management Library (NVML)
- nvidia-ml-py
- psutil
- curses<sup>[*](#curses)</sup> (with `libncursesw`)

**NOTE:** The [NVIDIA Management Library (*NVML*)](https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-management-library-nvml) is a C-based programmatic interface for monitoring and managing various states. The runtime version of the NVML library ships with the NVIDIA display driver (available at [Download Drivers | NVIDIA](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx)), or can be downloaded as part of the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit (available at [CUDA Toolkit | NVIDIA Developer](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads)). The lists of OS platforms and NVIDIA-GPUs supported by the NVML library can be found in the [NVML API Reference](https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/nvml-api/nvml-api-reference.html).

This repository contains a Bash script to install/upgrade the NVIDIA drivers for Ubuntu Linux. For example:

```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop.git && cd nvitop

# Change to tty3 console (required for desktop users with GUI (tty2))
# Optional for SSH users
sudo chvt 3  # or use keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-LeftAlt-F3

bash install-nvidia-driver.sh --package=nvidia-driver-470  # install the R470 driver from ppa:graphics-drivers
bash install-nvidia-driver.sh --latest                     # install the latest driver from ppa:graphics-drivers
```

<p align="center">
  <img width="100%" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16078332/174480112-e9a35edc-8f42-438e-a103-1d0ce998b381.png" alt="install-nvidia-driver">
  <br/>
  NVIDIA driver installer for Ubuntu Linux.
</p>

Run `bash install-nvidia-driver.sh --help` for more information.

<a name="curses">*</a> The `curses` library is a built-in module of Python on Unix-like systems, and it is supported by a third-party package called `windows-curses` on Windows using PDCurses. Inconsistent behavior of `nvitop` may occur on different terminal emulators on Windows, such as missing mouse support.

------

## Installation

**It is highly recommended to install `nvitop` in an isolated virtual environment.** Simple installation and run via [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools) (a.k.a. `uv tool run`) or [`pipx`](https://pypa.github.io/pipx):

```bash
uvx nvitop
# or
pipx run nvitop
```

You can also set this command as an alias in your shell startup file, e.g.:

```bash
# For Bash
echo 'alias nvitop="uvx nvitop"' >> ~/.bashrc

# For Zsh
echo 'alias nvitop="uvx nvitop"' >> ~/.zshrc

# For Fish
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish
echo 'alias nvitop="uvx nvitop"' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish

# For PowerShell
New-Item -Path (Split-Path -Parent -Path $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts) -ItemType Directory -Force
'Function nvitop { uvx nvitop @Args }' >> $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts
```

or

```bash
# For Bash
echo 'alias nvitop="pipx run nvitop"' >> ~/.bashrc

# For Zsh
echo 'alias nvitop="pipx run nvitop"' >> ~/.zshrc

# For Fish
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish
echo 'alias nvitop="pipx run nvitop"' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish

# For PowerShell
New-Item -Path (Split-Path -Parent -Path $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts) -ItemType Directory -Force
'Function nvitop { pipx run nvitop @Args }' >> $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts
```

Install from PyPI ([![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/nvitop?label=pypi&logo=pypi)](https://pypi.org/project/nvitop)):

```bash
pip3 install --upgrade nvitop
```

Install from conda-forge ([![conda-forge](https://img.shields.io/conda/v/conda-forge/nvitop?logo=condaforge)](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/nvitop)):

```bash
conda install -c conda-forge nvitop
```

Install the latest version from GitHub (![Commit Count](https://img.shields.io/github/commits-since/XuehaiPan/nvitop/v1.5.2)):

```bash
pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip3 install git+https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop.git#egg=nvitop
```

Or, clone this repo and install manually:

```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop.git
cd nvitop
pip3 install .
```

**NOTE:** If you encounter the *"nvitop: command not found"* error after installation, please check whether you have added the Python console script path (e.g., `"${HOME}/.local/bin"`) to your `PATH` environment variable. Alternatively, you can use `python3 -m nvitop`.

## Usage

### Device and Process Status

Query the device and process status. The output is similar to `nvidia-smi`, but has been enriched and colorized.

```bash
# Query the status of all devices
$ nvitop -1  # or use `python3 -m nvitop -1`

# Specify query devices (by integer indices)
$ nvitop -1 -o 0 1  # only show <GPU 0> and <GPU 1>

# Only show devices in `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` (by integer indices or UUID strings)
$ nvitop -1 -ov

# Only show GPU processes with the compute context (type: 'C' or 'C+G')
$ nvitop -1 -c
```

When the `-1` switch is on, the result will be displayed **ONLY ONCE** (same as the default behavior of `nvidia-smi`). This is much faster and has lower resource usage. See [Command Line Options](#command-line-options-and-environment-variables) for more command options.

There is also a CLI tool called `nvisel` that ships with the `nvitop` PyPI package. See [CUDA Visible Devices Selection Tool](#cuda-visible-devices-selection-tool) for more information.

### Resource Monitor

Run as a resource monitor:

```bash
# Monitor mode (when the display mode is omitted, `NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE` will be used)
$ nvitop  # or use `python3 -m nvitop`

# Automatically configure the display mode according to the terminal size
$ nvitop -m auto     # shortcut: `a` key

# Arbitrarily display as `full` mode
$ nvitop -m full     # shortcut: `f` key

# Arbitrarily display as `compact` mode
$ nvitop -m compact  # shortcut: `c` key

# Specify query devices (by integer indices)
$ nvitop -o 0 1  # only show <GPU 0> and <GPU 1>

# Only show devices in `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` (by integer indices or UUID strings)
$ nvitop -ov

# Only show GPU processes with the compute context (type: 'C' or 'C+G')
$ nvitop -c

# Use ASCII characters only
$ nvitop -U  # useful for terminals without Unicode support

# For light terminals
$ nvitop --light

# For spectrum-like bar charts (requires the terminal supports 256-color)
$ nvitop --colorful
```

You can configure the default monitor mode with the `NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE` environment variable (default `auto` if not set). See [Command Line Options and Environment Variables](#command-line-options-and-environment-variables) for more command options.

In monitor mode, you can use <kbd>Ctrl-c</kbd> / <kbd>T</kbd> / <kbd>K</kbd> keys to interrupt / terminate / kill a process. And it's recommended to *terminate* or *kill* a process in the **tree-view screen** (shortcut: <kbd>t</kbd>). For normal users, `nvitop` will shallow other users' processes (in low-intensity colors). For **system administrators**, you can use `sudo nvitop` to terminate other users' processes.

Also, to enter the process metrics screen, select a process and then press the <kbd>Enter</kbd> / <kbd>Return</kbd> key . `nvitop` dynamically displays the process metrics with live graphs.

</p>

#### For Docker Users

Build and run the Docker image with [nvidia-container-toolkit](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit):

```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop.git && cd nvitop  # clone this repo first
docker build --tag nvitop:latest .  # build the Docker image
docker run -it --rm --runtime=nvidia --gpus=all --pid=host nvitop:latest  # run the Docker container
```

**NOTE:** Don't forget to add the `--pid=host` option when running the container.

If you only need to set up the Grafana dashboard, you can start a dashboard at [`http://localhost:3000`](http://localhost:3000) with the following command:

```bash
docker compose --project-directory=nvitop-exporter/grafana up --build --detach
```

See [`nvitop-exporter`](./nvitop-exporter/README.md) for more details.

#### For SSH Users

Run `nvitop` directly on the SSH session instead of a login shell:

```bash
ssh user@host -t nvitop                 # installed by `sudo pip3 install ...`
ssh user@host -t '~/.local/bin/nvitop'  # installed by `pip3 install --user ...`
```

**NOTE:** Users need to add the `-t` option to allocate a pseudo-terminal over the SSH session for monitor mode.

#### Command Line Options and Environment Variables

Type `nvitop --help` for more command options:

```text
usage: nvitop [--help] [--version] [--once | --monitor [{auto,full,compact}]]
              [--interval SEC] [--ascii] [--colorful] [--force-color] [--light]

  --version, -V         Show nvitop's version number and exit.
  --once, -1            Report query data only once.
  --monitor [{auto,full,compact}], -m [{auto,full,compact}]
                        Run as a resource monitor. Continuously report query data and handle user inputs.
                        If the argument is omitted, the value from `NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE` will be used.
                        (default fallback mode: auto)
  --interval SEC        Process status update interval in seconds. (default: 2)
  --ascii, --no-unicode, -U
                        Use ASCII characters only, which is useful for terminals without Unicode support.

coloring:
  --colorful            Use gradient colors to get spectrum-like bar charts. This option is only available
                        when the terminal supports 256 colors. You may need to set environment variable
                        `TERM="xterm-256color"`. Note that the terminal multiplexer, such as `tmux`, may
                        override the `TREM` variable.
  --force-color         Force colorize even when `stdout` is not a TTY terminal.
  --light               Tweak visual results for light theme terminals in monitor mode.
                        Set variable `NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE="light"` on light terminals for convenience.
  --gpu-util-thresh th1 th2
                        Thresholds of GPU utilization to determine the load intensity.
                        Coloring rules: light < th1 % <= moderate < th2 % <= heavy.
                        ( 1 <= th1 < th2 <= 99, defaults: 10 75 )
  --mem-util-thresh th1 th2
                        Thresholds of GPU memory percent to determine the load intensity.
                        Coloring rules: light < th1 % <= moderate < th2 % <= heavy.
                        ( 1 <= th1 < th2 <= 99, defaults: 10 80 )

device filtering:
  --only INDEX [INDEX ...], -o INDEX [INDEX ...]
                        Only show the specified devices, suppress option `--only-visible`.
  --only-visible, -ov   Only show devices in the `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` environment variable.

process filtering:
  --compute, -c         Only show GPU processes with the compute context. (type: 'C' or 'C+G')
  --only-compute, -C    Only show GPU processes exactly with the compute context. (type: 'C' only)
  --graphics, -g        Only show GPU processes with the graphics context. (type: 'G' or 'C+G')
  --only-graphics, -G   Only show GPU processes exactly with the graphics context. (type: 'G' only)
  --user [USERNAME ...], -u [USERNAME ...]
                        Only show processes of the given users (or `$USER` for no argument).
  --pid PID [PID ...], -p PID [PID ...]
                        Only show processes of the given PIDs.
```

`nvitop` can accept the following environment variables for monitor mode:

| Name                                   | Description                                         | Valid Values                                                            | Default Value     |
| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| `NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE`                  | The default display mode (a comma-separated string) | `auto` / `full` / `compact`<br>`plain` / `colorful`<br>`dark` / `light` | `auto,plain,dark` |
| `NVITOP_GPU_UTILIZATION_THRESHOLDS`    | Thresholds of GPU utilization                       | `10,75` , `1,99`, ...                                                   | `10,75`           |
| `NVITOP_MEMORY_UTILIZATION_THRESHOLDS` | Thresholds of GPU memory percent                    | `10,80` , `1,99`, ...                                                   | `10,80`           |
| `LOGLEVEL`                             | Log level for log messages                          | `DEBUG` , `INFO`, `WARNING`, ...                                        | `WARNING`         |

For example:

```bash
# Replace the following export statements if you are not using Bash / Zsh
export NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE="full,light"

# Full monitor mode with light terminal tweaks
nvitop
```

For convenience, you can add these environment variables to your shell startup file, e.g.:

```bash
# For Bash
echo 'export NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE="full"' >> ~/.bashrc

# For Zsh
echo 'export NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE="full"' >> ~/.zshrc

# For Fish
echo 'set -gx NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE "full"' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish

# For PowerShell
'$Env:NVITOP_MONITOR_MODE = "full"' >> $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts
```

### CUDA Visible Devices Selection Tool

Automatically select `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` from the given criteria. Example usage of the CLI tool:

```console
# All devices but sorted
$ nvisel       # or use `python3 -m nvitop.select`
6,5,4,3,2,1,0,7,8

# A simple example to select 4 devices
$ nvisel -n 4  # or use `python3 -m nvitop.select -n 4`
6,5,4,3

# Select available devices that satisfy the given constraints
$ nvisel --min-count 2 --max-count 3 --min-free-memory 5GiB --max-gpu-utilization 60

```python
# Put this at the top of the Python script
import os
from nvitop import select_devices

os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = ','.join(
    select_devices(format='uuid', min_count=4, min_free_memory='8GiB')
)

              [--format FORMAT] [--sep SEP | --newline | --null] [--no-sort]

CUDA visible devices selection tool.

options:
  --help, -h            Show this help message and exit.
  --version, -V         Show nvisel's version number and exit.

constraints:
  --inherit [CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES], -i [CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES]
                        Inherit the given `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`. If the argument is omitted, use the
                        value from the environment. This means selecting a subset of the currently
                        CUDA-visible devices.
  --account-as-free [USERNAME ...]
                        Account the used GPU memory of the given users as free memory.
                        If this option is specified but without argument, `$USER` will be used.
  --min-count N, -c N   Minimum number of devices to select. (default: 0)
                        The tool will fail (exit non-zero) if the requested resource is not available.
  --max-count N, -C N   Maximum number of devices to select. (default: all devices)
  --count N, -n N       Overriding both `--min-count N` and `--max-count N`.
  --min-free-memory SIZE, -f SIZE
                        Minimum free memory of devices to select. (example value: 4GiB)
                        If this constraint is given, check against all devices.
  --min-total-memory SIZE, -t SIZE
                        Minimum total memory of devices to select. (example value: 10GiB)
                        If this constraint is given, check against all devices.
  --max-gpu-utilization RATE, -G RATE
                        Maximum GPU utilization rate of devices to select. (example value: 30)
                        If this constraint is given, check against all devices.
  --max-memory-utilization RATE, -M RATE
                        Maximum memory bandwidth utilization rate of devices to select. (example value: 50)
                        If this constraint is given, check against all devices.
  --tolerance TOL, --tol TOL
                        The constraints tolerance (in percentage). (default: 0, i.e., strict)
                        This option can loose the constraints if the requested resource is not available.
                        For example, set `--tolerance=20` will accept a device with only 4GiB of free
                        memory when set `--min-free-memory=5GiB`.

formatting:
  --format FORMAT, -O FORMAT
                        The output format of the selected device identifiers. (default: index)
                        If any MIG device found, the output format will be fallback to `uuid`.
  --sep SEP, --separator SEP, -s SEP
                        Separator for the output. (default: ',')
  --newline             Use newline character as separator for the output, equivalent to `--sep=$'\n'`.
  --null, -0            Use null character ('\x00') as separator for the output. This option corresponds
                        to the `-0` option of `xargs`.
  --no-sort, -S         Do not sort the device by memory usage and GPU utilization.
```

### Callback Functions for Machine Learning Frameworks (DEPRECATED)

`nvitop` provides two builtin callbacks for [TensorFlow (Keras)](https://www.tensorflow.org) and [PyTorch Lightning](https://pytorchlightning.ai).

#### Callback for [TensorFlow (Keras)](https://www.tensorflow.org)

```python
from tensorflow.python.keras.utils.multi_gpu_utils import multi_gpu_model
from tensorflow.python.keras.callbacks import TensorBoard
from nvitop.callbacks.keras import GpuStatsLogger
gpus = ['/gpu:0', '/gpu:1']  # or `gpus = [0, 1]` or `gpus = 2`
model = Xception(weights=None, ..)
model = multi_gpu_model(model, gpus)  # optional
model.compile(..)
tb_callback = TensorBoard(log_dir='./logs')  # or `keras.callbacks.CSVLogger`
gpu_stats = GpuStatsLogger(gpus)
model.fit(.., callbacks=[gpu_stats, tb_callback])
```

**NOTE:** Users should assign a `keras.callbacks.TensorBoard` callback or a `keras.callbacks.CSVLogger` callback to the model. And the `GpuStatsLogger` callback should be placed before the `keras.callbacks.TensorBoard` / `keras.callbacks.CSVLogger` callback.

#### Callback for [PyTorch Lightning](https://lightning.ai)

```python
from lightning.pytorch import Trainer
from nvitop.callbacks.lightning import GpuStatsLogger
gpu_stats = GpuStatsLogger()
trainer = Trainer(gpus=[..], logger=True, callbacks=[gpu_stats])
```

**NOTE:** Users should assign a logger to the trainer.

#### [TensorBoard](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard) Integration

Please refer to [Resource Metric Collector](#resource-metric-collector) for an example.

### More than a Monitor

`nvitop` can be easily integrated into other applications. You can use `nvitop` to make your own monitoring tools. The full API references host at <https://nvitop.readthedocs.io>.

#### Quick Start

A minimal script to monitor the GPU devices based on APIs from `nvitop`:

```python
from nvitop import Device

devices = Device.all()  # or `Device.cuda.all()` to use CUDA ordinal instead
for device in devices:
    processes = device.processes()  # type: Dict[int, GpuProcess]
    sorted_pids = sorted(processes.keys())

    print(device)
    print(f'  - Fan speed:       {device.fan_speed()}%')
    print(f'  - Temperature:     {device.temperature()}C')
    print(f'  - GPU utilization: {device.gpu_utilization()}%')
    print(f'  - Total memory:    {device.memory_total_human()}')
    print(f'  - Used memory:     {device.memory_used_human()}')
    print(f'  - Free memory:     {device.memory_free_human()}')
    print(f'  - Processes ({len(processes)}): {sorted_pids}')
    for pid in sorted_pids:
        print(f'    - {processes[pid]}')
    print('-' * 120)
```

Another more advanced approach with coloring:

```python
import time

from nvitop import Device, GpuProcess, NA, colored

print(colored(time.strftime('%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y'), color='red', attrs=('bold',)))

devices = Device.cuda.all()  # or `Device.all()` to use NVML ordinal instead
separator = False
for device in devices:
    processes = device.processes()  # type: Dict[int, GpuProcess]

    print(colored(str(device), color='green', attrs=('bold',)))
    print(colored('  - Fan speed:       ', color='blue', attrs=('bold',)) + f'{device.fan_speed()}%')
    print(colored('  - Temperature:     ', color='blue', attrs=('bold',)) + f'{device.temperature()}C')
    print(colored('  - GPU utilization: ', color='blue', attrs=('bold',)) + f'{device.gpu_utilization()}%')
    print(colored('  - Total memory:    ', color='blue', attrs=('bold',)) + f'{device.memory_total_human()}')
    print(colored('  - Used memory:     ', color='blue', attrs=('bold',)) + f'{device.memory_used_human()}')
    print(colored('  - Free memory:     ', color='blue', attrs=('bold',)) + f'{device.memory_free_human()}')
    if len(processes) > 0:
        processes = GpuProcess.take_snapshots(processes.values(), failsafe=True)
        processes.sort(key=lambda process: (process.username, process.pid))

        print(colored(f'  - Processes ({len(processes)}):', color='blue', attrs=('bold',)))
        fmt = '    {pid:<5}  {username:<8} {cpu:>5}  {host_memory:>8} {time:>8}  {gpu_memory:>8}  {sm:>3}  {command:<}'.format
        print(colored(fmt(pid='PID', username='USERNAME',
                          cpu='CPU%', host_memory='HOST-MEM', time='TIME',
                          gpu_memory='GPU-MEM', sm='SM%',
                          command='COMMAND'),
                      attrs=('bold',)))
        for snapshot in processes:
            print(fmt(pid=snapshot.pid,
                      username=snapshot.username[:7] + ('+' if len(snapshot.username) > 8 else snapshot.username[7:8]),
                      cpu=snapshot.cpu_percent, host_memory=snapshot.host_memory_human,
                      time=snapshot.running_time_human,
                      gpu_memory=(snapshot.gpu_memory_human if snapshot.gpu_memory_human is not NA else 'WDDM:N/A'),
                      sm=snapshot.gpu_sm_utilization,
                      command=snapshot.command))
    else:
        print(colored('  - No Running Processes', attrs=('bold',)))

    if separator:
        print('-' * 120)
    separator = True
```

#### Status Snapshot

`nvitop` provides a helper function [`take_snapshots`](https://nvitop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/collector.html#nvitop.take_snapshots) to retrieve the status of both GPU devices and GPU processes at once. You can type `help(nvitop.take_snapshots)` in Python REPL for detailed documentation.

```python
In [1]: from nvitop import take_snapshots, Device
   ...: import os
   ...: os.environ['CUDA_DEVICE_ORDER'] = 'PCI_BUS_ID'
   ...: os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '1,0'  # comma-separated integers or UUID strings

In [2]: take_snapshots()  # equivalent to `take_snapshots(Device.all())`
Out[2]:
SnapshotResult(
    devices=[
        DeviceSnapshot(
            real=Device(index=0, ...),

        ...
    ],
    gpu_processes=[
        GpuProcessSnapshot(
            real=GpuProcess(pid=xxxxxx, device=Device(index=0, ...), ...),
            ...
        ),
        ...
    ]
)

In [3]: device_snapshots, gpu_process_snapshots = take_snapshots(Device.all())  # type: Tuple[List[DeviceSnapshot], List[GpuProcessSnapshot]]

In [4]: device_snapshots, _ = take_snapshots(gpu_processes=False)  # ignore process snapshots

In [5]: take_snapshots(Device.cuda.all())  # use CUDA device enumeration
Out[5]:
SnapshotResult(
    devices=[
        CudaDeviceSnapshot(
            real=CudaDevice(cuda_index=0, nvml_index=1, ...),
            ...
        ),
        CudaDeviceSnapshot(
            real=CudaDevice(cuda_index=1, nvml_index=0, ...),
            ...
        ),
    ],
    gpu_processes=[
        GpuProcessSnapshot(
            real=GpuProcess(pid=xxxxxx, device=CudaDevice(cuda_index=0, ...), ...),
            ...
        ),
        ...
    ]
)

In [6]: take_snapshots(Device.cuda(1))  # <CUDA 1> only
Out[6]:
SnapshotResult(
    devices=[
        CudaDeviceSnapshot(
            real=CudaDevice(cuda_index=1, nvml_index=0, ...),

        )
    ],
    gpu_processes=[
        GpuProcessSnapshot(
            real=GpuProcess(pid=xxxxxx, device=CudaDevice(cuda_index=1, ...), ...),

        ),
        ...

#### Resource Metric Collector

[`ResourceMetricCollector`](https://nvitop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/collector.html#nvitop.ResourceMetricCollector) is a class that collects resource metrics for host, GPUs and processes running on the GPUs. All metrics will be collected in an asynchronous manner. You can type `help(nvitop.ResourceMetricCollector)` in Python REPL for detailed documentation.

```python
In [1]: from nvitop import ResourceMetricCollector, Device
   ...: import os
   ...: os.environ['CUDA_DEVICE_ORDER'] = 'PCI_BUS_ID'
   ...: os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '3,2,1,0'  # comma-separated integers or UUID strings

In [2]: collector = ResourceMetricCollector()                                   # log all devices and descendant processes of the current process on the GPUs
In [3]: collector = ResourceMetricCollector(root_pids={1})                      # log all devices and all GPU processes
In [4]: collector = ResourceMetricCollector(devices=Device(0), root_pids={1})   # log <GPU 0> and all GPU processes on <GPU 0>
In [5]: collector = ResourceMetricCollector(devices=Device.cuda.all())          # use the CUDA ordinal

In [6]: with collector(tag='<tag>'):

}
```

The results can be easily logged into [TensorBoard](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard) or a CSV file. For example:

```python
import os

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch.utils.tensorboard import SummaryWriter

from nvitop import CudaDevice, ResourceMetricCollector
from nvitop.callbacks.tensorboard import add_scalar_dict

# Build networks and prepare datasets
...

# Logger and status collector
writer = SummaryWriter()
collector = ResourceMetricCollector(devices=CudaDevice.all(),  # log all visible CUDA devices and use the CUDA ordinal
                                    root_pids={os.getpid()},   # only log the descendant processes of the current process
                                    interval=1.0)              # snapshot interval for background daemon thread

# Start training
global_step = 0
for epoch in range(num_epoch):
    with collector(tag='train'):
        for batch in train_dataset:
            with collector(tag='batch'):
                metrics = train(net, batch)
                global_step += 1
                add_scalar_dict(writer, 'train', metrics, global_step=global_step)
                add_scalar_dict(writer, 'resources',      # tag='resources/train/batch/...'
                                collector.collect(),
                                global_step=global_step)

        add_scalar_dict(writer, 'resources',              # tag='resources/train/...'
                        collector.collect(),
                        global_step=epoch)

    with collector(tag='validate'):
        metrics = validate(net, validation_dataset)
        add_scalar_dict(writer, 'validate', metrics, global_step=epoch)
        add_scalar_dict(writer, 'resources',              # tag='resources/validate/...'
                        collector.collect(),
                        global_step=epoch)
```

Another example for logging into a CSV file:

```python
import datetime
import time

import pandas as pd

from nvitop import ResourceMetricCollector

collector = ResourceMetricCollector(root_pids={1}, interval=2.0)  # log all devices and all GPU processes
df = pd.DataFrame()

with collector(tag='resources'):
    for _ in range(60):
        # Do something
        time.sleep(60)

        metrics = collector.collect()
        df_metrics = pd.DataFrame.from_records(metrics, index=[len(df)])
        df = pd.concat([df, df_metrics], ignore_index=True)
        # Flush to CSV file ...

df.insert(0, 'time', df['resources/timestamp'].map(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp))
df.to_csv('results.csv', index=False)
```

You can also daemonize the collector in the background using [`collect_in_background`](https://nvitop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/collector.html#nvitop.collect_in_background) or [`ResourceMetricCollector.daemonize`](https://nvitop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/collector.html#nvitop.ResourceMetricCollector.daemonize) with callback functions.

```python
from nvitop import Device, ResourceMetricCollector, collect_in_background

logger = ...

def on_collect(metrics):  # will be called periodically
    if logger.is_closed():  # closed manually by user
        return False
    logger.log(metrics)
    return True

def on_stop(collector):  # will be called only once at stop
    if not logger.is_closed():
        logger.close()  # cleanup

# Record metrics to the logger in the background every 5 seconds.
# It will collect 5-second mean/min/max for each metric.
collect_in_background(
    on_collect,
    ResourceMetricCollector(Device.cuda.all()),
    interval=5.0,
    on_stop=on_stop,
)
```

or simply:

```python
ResourceMetricCollector(Device.cuda.all()).daemonize(
    on_collect,
    interval=5.0,
    on_stop=on_stop,
)
```

**NOTE:** Some entry values may be `'N/A'` (type: [`NaType`](https://nvitop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#nvitop.NaType), a subclass of `str`) when the corresponding resources are not applicable. The [`NA`](https://nvitop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#nvitop.NA) value supports arithmetic operations. It acts like `math.nan: float`.

```python
>>> from nvitop import NA
>>> NA
'N/A'

>>> 'memory usage: {}'.format(NA)  # NA is an instance of `str`
'memory usage: N/A'
>>> NA.lower()                     # NA is an instance of `str`
'n/a'
>>> NA.ljust(5)                    # NA is an instance of `str`
'N/A  '
>>> NA + 'str'                     # string contamination if the operand is a string
'N/Astr'

>>> float(NA)                      # explicit conversion to float (`math.nan`)
nan
>>> NA + 1                         # auto-casting to float if the operand is a number
nan
>>> NA * 1024                      # auto-casting to float if the operand is a number
nan
>>> NA / (1024 * 1024)             # auto-casting to float if the operand is a number
nan
```

You can use `entry != 'N/A'` conditions to avoid exceptions. It's safe to use `float(entry)` for numbers while `NaType` will be converted to `math.nan`. For example:

```python
memory_used: Union[int, NaType] = device.memory_used()            # memory usage in bytes or `'N/A'`
memory_used_in_mib: float       = float(memory_used) / (1 << 20)  # memory usage in Mebibytes (MiB) or `math.nan`
```

It's safe to compare `NaType` with numbers, but `NaType` is always larger than any number:

```python
devices_by_used_memory = sorted(Device.all(), key=Device.memory_used, reverse=True)  # it's safe to compare `'N/A'` with numbers
devices_by_free_memory = sorted(Device.all(), key=Device.memory_free, reverse=True)  # please add `memory_free != 'N/A'` checks if sort in descending order here
```

See [`nvitop.NaType`](https://nvitop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/apis/index.html#nvitop.NaType) documentation for more details.
