radeontop

Radeontop is a command line tool used to monitor various performance metrics of AMD Radeon GPUs. It provides real-time information about the GPU's utilization, temperature, clock speeds, fan speed, and power consumption.

The tool is specifically designed for AMD GPUs and relies on the Radeon DRM kernel module to collect data from the GPU. It supports various command line arguments to customize the displayed information, such as selecting which GPU to monitor, specifying the update interval, or indicating a specific output formatting.

Radeontop is an open-source tool developed as part of the Radeon Open Compute (ROCm) project. It is written in C and uses the libdrm library to interact with the Radeon kernel module.

The tool is quite lightweight and does not require any graphical environment to run. It is commonly used by developers and enthusiasts to monitor GPU performance in real-time, particularly for tasks like debugging, optimization, or stress testing.

Radeontop offers a simple and minimalistic interface, displaying the relevant metrics in a table-like format. Users can easily monitor their GPU's activity and make informed decisions regarding system optimization or resource allocation based on the observed performance data.
