nvidia-smi (without the -a option) now prints a pretty formatted output which includes the % memory usage.

nvsmi log says this:

I get nothing like that. If i just use it without the option, i only get the timestamp and driver version.
Because of the length of the output I am only including the first gpu report,

You're using a fairly old driver version. What is good about it is that most of nvidia-smi's counters were functional back then in non professional cards.

cool. i'm not one to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading unless there is a security measure that affects me. i am of the 'if it ain't broke dont fix it' crowd. hehe i am still running kernel 2.6.31...
my boss gets really frustrated at me because other than security updates, i wil only update our servers maybe twice a year and then only with versions that are at least 3 months old. my thought is that within 3 months anything that was broken would be fixed or at least would be talked about. my boss is one of those the second a new version of anything is released he has to have it. that gets him into a lot of trouble sometimes but he refuses to wake up and do his upgrades in a smart manner. of course i could wonder about his intelligence and sanity since he is a major preacher in the "microsoft is next to godliness" church.
live and let live i guess. keeps me working.. :P
