Check CUDA GPU usage

  • 772

I've been number crunching using boinc for several years now and I'm starting to get into more computational stuff that uses CUDA. I was wondering if there is a way to check which processes are making use of CUDA at any given point. I'm using an nvidia GeForce 8400 GS if it helps.

I've poked around a bit on the web and the best recommendation I got was to use nvidia-smi. However, upon some more poking around, I found that nvidia-smi only gives an output for some graphics cards (my GEFORCE is not among them). Hence the following output:

    +------------------------------------------------------+

    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
