@kaukonen.markus posted a new topic, subject "GPU usage info (nvidia-smi is not there)". It read:

   Dear All!
    
    I have used a tool python tool gpu-utils
    
    PyPI
    
    ### gpu-utils
    
    Utility functions for working with GPUs.
    
    to control how much each process running tensorflow-gpu takes memory.
    
    It uses nvidia-smi which does not seem to be in jetson nano.
    
    Can one install nvidia-smi on jetson nano or are there other tools to obtain info about gpu usage?
    
    Terveisin, Markus

So @dusty_nv replied

    Hi Markus, nvidia-smi isn't supported on Tegra-based platforms. Instead please try the tegrastats utility, you can launch it by running “sudo tegrastats” from the terminal.
    
    See here for the documentation on tegrastats tool: [url]Welcome — Jetson Linux<br/>Developer Guide 34.1 documentation

To which @southcamel replied

    Hi dusty_nv  
    I have read the documentation on tegrastats tool.  
    but the follow param don't explain:
    
    POM_5V_IN 1402/1793 POM_5V_GPU 40/45
    
    Thanks for your help.

To which @dusty_nv replied

    Hi southcamel, POM_5V_IN is the total power that the board is consuming. POM_5V_GPU is the power rail feeding the GPU, so it reports only how much power the GPU is consuming.

After which, @southcamel added

    Hi dusty_nv
    
    Thanks for your quickly reply.
    
    Can we know the memory-usage on GPU, like the information shows use nvidia-smi.
    
    Thanks very much.

Then @pedro.valdes.guzman said

    try with ‘jtop', better as sudo as themself says

So @Kerem.Tatlici (Kerem) replied

    that is exactly what i need. I salute you @pedro.valdes.guzman
