nvidia-smi is a useful tool to query information about the GPUs present in a system.

In general, this should not be relevant to most users, but may be useful in some situations.

nvidia -smi topo -m is likely to be one of the useful sucommands.

It will be worth noting that:

  • Many commands require root access, so will not be available to users
  • Only GPUs available to the job will be visible (i.e. If you request 2 GPUs, only 2 devices should be listed assuming cgroups is used to control access)
  • Device enumeration in nvidia-smi may not match device enumeration within CUDA. This is controlled by a (kernel module?) setting, and the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES variable can also influence order if set by a user.

…ich are much more manageable, with their own easier to find rendered pages.

Closes #61

Whilst splitting this file into many smaller files, a number of additions and changes were made to the documentation, including:

+ Adds (basic) documentation for:
  + IBM XL compilers (Closes #61)
  + Amber (Part of #78)
  + EMAN2
  + GRACE
  + Gromacs (Closes #37, part of #79)
  + NAMD
  + OpenMM
  + PLUMED
  + Singularity (Apptainer) (Closes #49)
  + Generic python information, with more detailed conda usage (Closes #47)
  + nvidia-smi (Closes #75)
  + HECBioSim project
  + IBM Collaboration project
  + Boost Module
  + FFTW module
  + NVTX library
  + PLUMED library
  + VTK
  + CMake
  + Make
+ Creates new `guides` section
  + Migrates the `profiling` documentation into the guides section
  + Migrates the `wanderings` about CUDA into the guides section
+ Adds some notes/warnings about potential WMLCE + RHEL 8 incompatibility. Larger changes still required (#63)
+ CSS/JS/_templates changes for a useful sidebar with the bootstrap theme with split source files
  + New issue #87 opened to consider replacing the theme to an actively maintained theme.
+ Removes relations.html from the sidebar, as styling issues were difficult to resolve nicely (Closes #77)
+ Adds sphinxext-rediraffe plugin for redirects for moved .html files (see conf.py)
+ Assorted RST improvements (links, crossrefs, quoteblocks, code-block, note, etc.)
+ Clarify module loads for RHEL 7 vs RHEL 8 where appropriate (Part of #73).
+ Assorted other improvements throughout the documentation

History was a little messy, so has been squashed to avoid `.git` bloat.
