ultralytics.utils.autodevice.GPUInfo
GPUInfo()
Manages NVIDIA GPU information via pynvml with robust error handling.
Provides methods to query detailed GPU statistics (utilization, memory, temp, power) and select the most idle GPUs based on configurable criteria. It safely handles the absence or initialization failure of the pynvml library by logging warnings and disabling related features, preventing application crashes.
Includes fallback logic using torch.cuda
for basic device counting if NVML is unavailable during GPU
selection. Manages NVML initialization and shutdown internally.

select_idle_gpu
select_idle_gpu(count=1, min_memory_mb=0)
Selects the 'count' most idle GPUs based on utilization and free memory.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
count
|
int
|
The number of idle GPUs to select. Defaults to 1. |
1
|
min_memory_mb
|
int
|
Minimum free memory required (MiB). Defaults to 0. |
0
|
Returns:
Type | Description |
---|---|
list[int]
|
Indices of the selected GPUs, sorted by idleness. |
Notes
Returns fewer than 'count' if not enough qualify or exist. Returns basic CUDA indices if NVML fails. Empty list if no GPUs found.
