AMD SMI CLI tool usage#
This tool is a command line interface (CLI) for manipulating and monitoring the
amdgpu kernel; it is intended to replace and deprecate the existing rocm_smi
CLI tool and gpuv-smi tool. The AMD SMI CLI tool uses Ctypes to call the
amd_smi_lib API.
When using the CLI tool, you should have at least one AMD GPU and the driver installed.
Disclaimer
The AMD SMI CLI tool is provided as an example code to aid the development of telemetry tools. The Python or C++ library is recommended as a robust data source.
Install the CLI Tool and Python library#
Refer to the installation instructions.

Interpreting the output#
When you run an amd-smi command, the tool presents detailed information
across various categories, each containing specific fields and their current
values.
About N/A values#
N/A typically indicates that the data for a specific field is either unavailable or irrelevant in the current context for your device and its software environment. The exact reason may vary depending on the field and the GPU. In general, you can interpret N/A to mean one of the following:
Not Applicable: The feature or parameter does not apply to your specific AMD hardware or its current configuration. Examples include display-related clocks on a headless compute card and partition details when the GPU is not partitioned.
Not Available: The information cannot be retrieved by the amd-smi tool at this time. This could be due to one of the following reasons:
The hardware component does not report the specific metric.
The currently installed
amdgpudriver version does not support querying this particular piece of information throughamd-smi-lib.

The following block is example output from the amd-smi static command without additional modifiers.
