_resolve_power_field_scope

_resolve_power_field_scope(field)

Determine the NVML power scope to use for a power field value query.

This is a GPU device, so GPU-scope power is the expected outcome. We therefore probe NVML_POWER_SCOPE_GPU first and use it if it works.

Some C2C superchips (e.g., Grace Hopper) do not support GPU-scope power queries and instead report power for the entire module (CPU + GPU). On those, the GPU-scope query fails, so we warn and fall back to NVML_POWER_SCOPE_MODULE. If neither scope works, something is wrong and we raise.

The scope does not change over the lifetime of the GPU, so callers cache the result and only probe on the first power query.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
field int

The NVML power field to resolve the scope for, e.g., NVML_FI_DEV_POWER_INSTANT or NVML_FI_DEV_POWER_AVERAGE.

NVIDIAGPUs

Bases: GPUs

Implementation of GPUs for NVIDIA GPUs.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable is respected if set. For example, if there are 4 GPUs on the node and CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,2, only GPUs 0 and 2 are instantiated. In this case, to access GPU of CUDA index 0, use the index 0, and for CUDA index 2, use the index 1.

If you have the Zeus daemon deployed, make sure you have set the ZEUSD_SOCK_PATH environment variable to the path of the Zeus daemon socket. This class will automatically use ZeusdNVIDIAGPU if ZEUSD_SOCK_PATH is set.

Note

Some C2C superchips (e.g., Grace Hopper) do not support GPU-scope power queries. In that case, a warning is issued and the whole module's power is reported.
