Nvtop Versions Save

New this release:

• Per process GPU, encode and decode usage metrics are available as process columns.
• A setup window (F2) to configure the interface.
  • General options
    • Color support
    • Update interval
  • Devices display options
    • Temperature scale
    • Auto hide of encode/decode
  • Chart options
    • Update direction
    • Which metric is displayed for each device
  • Processes options
    • Toggle ascending/descending
    • Sort by

Miscellaneous:

• Rewrite of GPU information extraction in preparation for potential multi vendor support (see #106).
  • The build no longer requires the NVML header
  • The build doesn't link to libnvidia-ml anymore, instead loads the symbols at runtime.
• Rewrite and small optimization of the interface drawing code.
  • Chart positioning algorithm
  • Line plot
  • Avoid unnecessary ncurses clean/draw calls

This is a minor release including:

• UI updates: plot direction, PID order and units consistency.
• Showing the power draw even when the upper limit is not provided by the driver.
• Manpage update.
• Installation instruction update.

New in this version:

• Automatic layout of the interface
• Each GPU has its own plot for multi-GPU setup (when there is enough room on screen)
• The host CPU and memory utilization are added to the process list
• Horizontally scrollable process list to see the whole the command line

Fix multi-device support for plot.

New in this version:

• Maximum GPU and memory line plot
  • Can be disabled with option -p or --no-plot.
• Encoding end decoding meters auto-hide if they were not used recently
  • Always visible with option -E -1
• The multi-device information header now automatically takes advantage of the horizontal space available
• Fahrenheit option
  • Activation with option -f or --freedom-unit
• A process name now comes with its arguments
• Process name cache
  • Disable cache with the option -N or --no-cache

• Process list and command options are scrollable

New options

• Select / Ignore GPU by ID
• Monochrome
