Function Documentation

◆ amdsmi_get_utilization_count()

amdsmi_status_t amdsmi_get_utilization_count	(	amdsmi_processor_handle	processor_handle,
		amdsmi_utilization_counter_t	utilization_counters[],
		uint32_t	count,
		uint64_t *	timestamp
	)

Get coarse grain utilization counter of the specified device.

Platform:: gpu_bm_linux

Given a processor handle processor_handle, the array of the utilization counters, the size of the array, this function returns the coarse grain utilization counters and timestamp. The counter is the accumulated percentages. Every milliseconds the firmware calculates % busy count and then accumulates that value in the counter. This provides minimally invasive coarse grain GPU usage information.

Parameters

[in]	processor_handle	a processor handle
[in,out]	utilization_counters	Multiple utilization counters can be retreived with a single call. The caller must allocate enough space to the utilization_counters array. The caller also needs to set valid AMDSMI_UTILIZATION_COUNTER_TYPE type for each element of the array. AMDSMI_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED if it is not supported with the provided arguments.

If the function reutrns AMDSMI_STATUS_SUCCESS, the counter will be set in the value field of the amdsmi_utilization_counter_t.

Parameters

[in] count The size of utilization_counters array.

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