$ pip3 install psutil $ cd $cuBB_SDK/cuPHY/util/cuBB_system_checks $ sudo -E python3 ./cuBB_system_checks.py

The output of cuBB_system_checks.py may differ slightly between bare-metal and container versions of the environment. The script helps to retrieve the software-component versions and hardware configuration. Refer to the Release Manifest in the cuBB Release Notes to ensure the correct software-component versions are installed. Below is an example output on a bare-metal platform:

Checking the NIC Status

To query back the Mellanox NIC firmware settings initialized with the script above, use these commands:

$ sudo mlxconfig -d $MLX0PCIEADDR q | grep "CQE_COMPRESSION\|PROG_PARSE_GRAPH\ \|FLEX_PARSER_PROFILE_ENABLE\|REAL_TIME_CLOCK_ENABLE\|ACCURATE_TX_SCHEDULER" # FLEX_PARSER_PROFILE_ENABLE 4 # PROG_PARSE_GRAPH True(1) # ACCURATE_TX_SCHEDULER True(1) # CQE_COMPRESSION AGGRESSIVE(1) # REAL_TIME_CLOCK_ENABLE True(1)

To check the current status of a NIC port, use this command:

$ sudo mlxlink -d $MLX0PCIEADDR

Alternatively, you can use the System Configuration Validation Script to obtain a full list of configuration settings.
