GPUProfiler-for-Linux

This is a basic, no fluf version of GPUProfiler for Linux that will allow you to capture and analyse the resource utilization of various workloads on Linux systems and select hypervisors.

The console based application will collect and save a .GPD file that can be viewed in GPUProfiler for Windows or exported to CSV as input to your favorite data cruncher.

Releases

The current release is v.1.07b (March 2020) and should be considered to be of beta quality.

Tested Linux distributions

CentOS 7.7, Ubuntu 18.04

Tested Hypervisors

RedHat KVM, Citrix XenServer, Citrix Hypervisor, Nutanix AHV

As much as I would like to add support for VMware vSphere, the system details and metrics that I can collect without expert insider knowledge would be insufficient to make it useful so I have not been able to add support for vSphere.

If you have said expert knowledge and wish to help get vSphere support please contact me.

Limitations

Remoting protocol metrics capture is not supported.

Console only, no UI support.

Currently does not capture data for hardware configurations without an NVIDIA GPU
