Functions

nvmlReturn_t nvmlDevicePowerSmoothingActivatePresetProfile ( nvmlDevice_t device, nvmlPowerSmoothingProfile_t* profile )
Parameters
device
The identifier of the target device
profile
Reference to nvmlPowerSmoothingProfile_v1_t. Note that only profile->profileId is used and the rest of the structure is ignored.
Returns

Description

Activiate a specific preset profile for datacenter power smoothing. The API only sets the active preset profile based on the input profileId, and ignores the other parameters of the structure. Requires root/admin permissions.

For Blackwell or newer fully supported devices.

nvmlReturn_t nvmlDevicePowerSmoothingSetState ( nvmlDevice_t device, nvmlPowerSmoothingState_t* state )
Parameters
device
The identifier of the target device
state
Reference to nvmlPowerSmoothingState_v1_t
Returns

Description

Enable or disable the Power Smoothing Feature. Requires root/admin permissions.

For Blackwell or newer fully supported devices.

See nvmlEnableState_t for details on allowed states

nvmlReturn_t nvmlDevicePowerSmoothingUpdatePresetProfileParam ( nvmlDevice_t device, nvmlPowerSmoothingProfile_t* profile )
Parameters
device
The identifier of the target device
profile
Reference to nvmlPowerSmoothingProfile_v1_t struct
Returns

Description

Update the value of a specific profile parameter contained within nvmlPowerSmoothingProfile_v1_t. Requires root/admin permissions.

For Blackwell or newer fully supported devices.

NVML_POWER_SMOOTHING_PROFILE_PARAM_PERCENT_TMP_FLOOR expects a value as a percentage from 00.00-100.00% NVML_POWER_SMOOTHING_PROFILE_PARAM_RAMP_UP_RATE expects a value in W/s NVML_POWER_SMOOTHING_PROFILE_PARAM_RAMP_DOWN_RATE expects a value in W/s NVML_POWER_SMOOTHING_PROFILE_PARAM_RAMP_DOWN_HYSTERESIS expects a value in ms
