Fixes/improvements

  • fixed/hardened Sysman bandwidth and power counters for Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs and Intel iGPUs
  • check for alternative GPU driver installation paths in make.sh, for better compatibility across Linux distros
  • made make.sh executable by default
  • removed max CPU core / max GPU number limits and reduced RAM footprint
  • clean exit on Linux with Ctrl+C (thanks to @bputigny)
  • link against driver .so files on Linux, removed shipped .so files

How to run?

Windows

  • Download hw-smi.exe or hw-smi-hud.exe (version with graphical on-screen HUD).
  • Double-click (you will be asked to run as administrator, this is required for some Intel GPU counters).
  • Alternatively, run in Windows CMD via
    hw-smi.exe
    hw-smi.exe --graphs
    hw-smi.exe --bars
    hw-smi.exe --help

Linux

  • Clone from GitHub:
    git clone https://github.com/ProjectPhysX/hw-smi.git && cd hw-smi
  • Compile:
    chmod +x make.sh
    ./make.sh
  • Run:
    sudo bin/hw-smi
    sudo bin/hw-smi --graphs
    sudo bin/hw-smi --bars
    sudo bin/hw-smi --help
  • Note that it will also work without sudo. However, some telemetry counters on Intel GPUs are not available without sudo.
