Function Documentation

◆ amdsmi_set_power_cap()

amdsmi_status_t amdsmi_set_power_cap	(	amdsmi_processor_handle	processor_handle,
		uint32_t	sensor_ind,
		uint64_t	cap
	)

Set the maximum gpu power cap value. It is not supported on virtual machine guest.

Platform:: gpu_bm_linux

This function will set the power cap to the provided value cap. cap must be between the minimum and maximum power cap values set by the system, which can be obtained from ::amdsmi_dev_power_cap_range_get.

Parameters

[in]	processor_handle	a processor handle
[in]	sensor_ind	a 0-based sensor index. Normally, this will be 0. If a processor has more than one sensor, it could be greater than 0.
[in]	cap	a uint64_t that indicates the desired power cap, in microwatts

Returns: amdsmi_status_t | AMDSMI_STATUS_SUCCESS on success, non-zero on fail

◆ amdsmi_set_gpu_power_profile()

amdsmi_status_t amdsmi_set_gpu_power_profile	(	amdsmi_processor_handle	processor_handle,
		uint32_t	reserved,
		amdsmi_power_profile_preset_masks_t	profile
	)

Set the power performance profile. It is not supported on virtual machine guest.

Platform:: gpu_bm_linux

This function will attempt to set the current profile to the provided profile, given a processor handle processor_handle and a profile. The provided profile must be one of the currently supported profiles, as indicated by a call to :: amdsmi_get_gpu_power_profile_presets()
