How do I check if PyTorch is using the GPU? The nvidia-smi
command can detect GPU activity, but I want to check it directly from inside a Python script.
These functions should help:
>>> import torch
>>> torch.cuda.is_available()
True
>>> torch.cuda.device_count()
1
>>> torch.cuda.current_device()
0
>>> torch.cuda.device(0)
<torch.cuda.device at 0x7efce0b03be0>
>>> torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)
'GeForce GTX 950M'
This tells us:
Device 0
refers to the GPU GeForce GTX 950M
, and it is currently chosen by PyTorch.
