NAME¶

spu-top - a top-like tool to watch the SPU's on a Cell BE System.

SYNOPSIS¶

spu-top [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION¶

The spu-top program provides a dynamic real-time view of the running system in regards to Cell/B.E. SPUs. It provides 3 view modes:

* Per-Context: information about all instantiated SPU contexts.

* Per-Process: same information as in Per-Context view, but consolidating all data from the contexts belonging to a same process in a single line. That means that statistics such as spu usage may reach number_of_spus * 100%.

* Per-SPU: information about each physical SPU present on the system.

Selection of mode and shown fields can be done within the program. Press 'h' while running spu-top for help on the interactive commands.
