Hi everyone, I just built a GPU dashboard to check the utilization on NVIDIA cards directly in your browser. It also works with multiple GPUs. The idea is to have real-time metrics from a remote GPU server instead of running nvidia-smi. Let me know if you try it out!

Obligatory reminder that "GPU utilisation" as a percentage is meaningless metric and does not tell you how well your GPU is utilised. Does not change the usefulness of this dashboard, just wanted to point it out.

Properly measuring "GPU load" is something I've been wondering about, as an architect who's had to deploy ML/DL models but is still relatively new at it. With CPU workloads you can generally tell from %CPU, %Mem and IOs how much load your system is under. But with GPU I'm not sure how you can tell, other than by just measuring your model execution times. I find it makes it hard to get an idea whether upgrading to a stronger GPU would help and by how much. Are there established ways of doing this?

@dang sorry for the meta-comment, but why is yfontana's comment dead? I found it pretty insightful.
