How to Get NVIDIA GPU Usage Info On iOS Using NeoServer

Monitoring NVIDIA GPU usage is crucial for optimizing performance, especially for tasks involving AI models, gaming, and other GPU-intensive applications. With NeoServer, you can easily access detailed GPU usage information on your iOS devices. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Install nvidia-smi

To get started, ensure that the NVIDIA System Management Interface (nvidia-smi) is installed on your server. This command-line utility provides detailed information about your NVIDIA GPU.

1. Log in to your server: Use SSH to connect to your server. You can use NeoServer’s terminal feature for this.

   ssh your_username@your_server_ip

2. Install NVIDIA drivers: If you haven't already, install the NVIDIA drivers that include nvidia-smi.

   For Ubuntu:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470

   For CentOS:

   sudo yum install nvidia-driver-470

3. Verify installation: Run nvidia-smi to ensure it’s installed correctly.
