The command "gtop" stands for "GPU Top," and it is a command-line utility used to monitor the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) activity on a Linux system. It provides real-time information and statistics about GPU usage, memory usage, temperature, clockspeed, power usage, and more.

When you execute the "gtop" command in a terminal, it launches a graphical interface that displays a dashboard-like view with various sections or panels showing different GPU status information. It typically shows utilization percentages, temperature readings, memory usage, and processes using the GPU.

Gtop is particularly useful for monitoring and troubleshooting GPU performance, identifying any bottlenecks or issues, and ensuring the GPU is not being overloaded during heavy graphical tasks such as gaming, video rendering, machine learning, or cryptocurrency mining.

It's important to note that the "gtop" command might not be pre-installed on your system by default, depending on your Linux distribution. Therefore, you may need to install it manually through package managers like apt, yum, or pacman, or by following specific instructions provided by the software's creator.
