A library and CLI utilities for managing performance states of NVIDIA GPUs.
Make sure you have the proprietary NVIDIA driver and the package providing libnvidia-api.so installed.
- ArchLinux:
nvidia-utils - Debian:
libnvidia-api1 - Ubuntu:
libnvidia-gl-535(?)
Make sure the NVIDIA driver is installed.
pip3 install nvidia_pstate# List available performance states (TODO: does not work right now, use nvidia-smi -q and count memory clocks)
nvidia-pstate -q
# Set performance state for specific GPU
nvidia-pstate -i 0 -ps 0
# Let driver decide which performance state GPU should use
nvidia-pstate -i 0 -ps 16
# Set performance state for specific GPUs
nvidia-pstate -i 0 1 3 4 -ps 0
# Set performance state for all GPUs
nvidia-pstate -ps 0from nvidia_pstate import set_pstate_low, set_pstate_high
set_pstate_low() # set pstate to "low" level (8 by default)
set_pstate_high() # set pstate to "high" level (16 by default)
# default values can be overrided using NVIDIA_PSTATE_LOW and NVIDIA_PSTATE_HIGH environment variables.
