AMD SMI CLI Tool#
This tool acts as a command line interface for manipulating and monitoring the amdgpu kernel, and is intended to replace and deprecate the existing rocm_smi CLI tool & gpuv-smi tool. It uses Ctypes to call the amd_smi_lib API. Recommended: At least one AMD GPU with AMD driver installed
Requirements#
python 3.7+ 64-bit
driver must be loaded for amdsmi_init() to pass
Installation#
Install amdgpu driver
Install amd-smi-lib package through package manager
cd /opt/rocm/share/amd_smi
python3 -m pip install –upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install –user .
/opt/rocm/bin/amd-smi –help
Add /opt/rocm/bin to your shell’s path to access amd-smi via the cmdline
RHEL 8 & SLES 15#
The default python versions in RHEL 8 and SLES 15 are 3.6.8 and 3.6.15
While the CLI may work with these python versions, to install the python library you need to upgrade to python 3.7+
Verify that your python version is 3.7+ to install the python library
Install Example for Ubuntu 22.04#
apt install amd-smi-lib
cd /opt/rocm/share/amd_smi
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --user .
/opt/rocm/bin/amd-smi
Add /opt/rocm/bin to your shell’s path to access amd-smi via the cmdline
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/rocm/bin
