NVIDIA CLI

This is a command line tool to interface with NVIDIA GPUs. This tool has been developed in native Rust code. 🦀 We rely on the nvml-wrapper crate, developed by @cldfire. For the terminal user interface, we use the popular ratatui crate.

Supported Configurations

• Operating System:
  • Windows 11
  • Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS Linux
• NVIDIA Driver must be installed
  • Linux: sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-550-server --yes
  • You can use the nvidia-smi command to validate that the NVIDIA GPU driver works correctly

Installation

Ensure that the Rust toolchain is installed on your system.

cargo install nvidia

Usage

Run this command:

nvidia

The program refreshes statistics every 200 milliseconds. At the moment, this threshold is not configurable. To exit the program, press the q key on your keyboard.

Uninstallation

You can remove the NVIDIA CLI tool with the following command:

cargo uninstall nvidia

Possible Issues

• This application only looks at the first NVIDIA GPU in your system. Multiple GPUs not currently supported
• If you don't have the NVIDIA GeForce driver installed, this utility won't work
• Only tested this application on Windows 11 and Ubuntu Server Linux
