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.
