Is anyone familiar with radeontop? [SOLVED]

[Logansfury]

Hello,

I have radeontop working on my system and giving a nice amount of GPU information. Is there any way Conky can read from radeontop while its running in a terminal? If not, can radeontop's data be sent to a text document that Conky can read and display data from in widgets?

Thank you for reading,

Logan

Have you tried radeontop --help ?

radeontop -l1 -d ./radeontop.dump dumps one cycle into a file.

And this is how the dump looks like

Code: Select all

1710595668.672722: bus 03, gpu 27.50%, ee 0.00%, vgt 23.33%, ta 0.00%, tc 0.00%, sx 25.00%, sh 23.33%, spi 26.67%, smx 22.50%, cr 0.00%, sc 25.83%, pa 1.67%, db 23.33%, cb 25.00%, vram 58.16% 2300.98mb, gtt 3.48% 141.19mb, mclk 62.75% 0.705ghz, sclk 17.58% 0.523ghz

Now you have to figure out what all means and how to separate..

My advice, don't use radeontop because it is slow!!

rm -f ./radeontop.dump
radeontop -l1 -d ./radeontop.dump
wait
sed -i 's/, /\n/g' ./radeontop.dump

Saves per line..

Hello Koentje,

I am just playing with conky and seeing what other kinds of info I can gather from my system that could become a minimalis widget. The radeontop is giving me 4 interesting fields about my graphic card:

virtual RAM use
graphic translation tasks memory used
memory clock
shader clock.

I put together a conky that launched your bash script to create a dump and then read and display info from the dump. Here is where I am at so far.

I will be moving files off desktop and into the conky subdirs once I get everything working.

Code: Select all

conky.text = [[

${execi 5 /home/logansfury/Desktop/radeontop.sh}

${color}${execpi 5 cat /home/logansfury/Desktop/radeontop.dump}

${color1}Memory Clock: ${color2}${execpi 5 sed -n '15p' /home/logansfury/Desktop/radeontop.dump}

${color1}Memory Clock: ${color2}${execpi 5 awk '/mclk/ { for(i=1; i<=NF; i++) { if($i == "mclk") { printf "%s ", $(i+1); for(j=i+2; j<=NF; j++) { if($j ~ /^[0-9.]+ghz$/) { printf "%s\n", $j; exit; } } } } }' /home/logansfury/Desktop/radeontop.dump}

${color1}Shader Clock: ${color2}${execpi 5 awk '/sclk/ { for(i=1; i<=NF; i++) { if($i == "sclk") { printf "%s ", $(i+1); for(j=i+2; j<=NF; j++) { if($j ~ /^[0-9.]+ghz$/) { printf "%s\n", $j; exit; } } } } }' /home/logansfury/Desktop/radeontop.dump}

]]

This is giving me this:



so far, so good, except that when the bash script gets run, it is printing out confirmation of the dump visibly in the conky. How would I best eliminate that?

[Koentje]

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

rm -f ./radeontop.dump
radeontop -l1 -d ./radeontop.dump > /dev/null
wait
sed -i 's/, /\n/g' ./radeontop.dump

mclk=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'mclk' | awk '{print $2" "$3}')
sclk=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'sclk' | awk '{print $2" "$3}')
vram=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'vram' | awk '{print $2" "$3}')
gtt=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'gtt' | awk '{print $2" "$3}')

echo "\${color red}Memory Clock: \${color white}$mclk"
echo "\${color red}Shader Clock: \${color white}$sclk"
echo "\${color red}Virtual RAM : \${color white}$vram"
echo "\${color red}GTT         : \${color white}$gtt"

Now you can remove all these crypto lines from your conky and only use this one:
${execpi 5 /home/logansfury/Desktop/radeontop.sh}

vram=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'vram' | awk '{print $2" "$3}')

echo "\${color red}Memory Clock: \${color white}$mclk"
echo "\${color red}Shader Clock: \${color white}$sclk"
echo "\${color red}Virtual RAM : \${color white}$vram"
echo "\${color red}GTT         : \${color white}$gtt"

Now you can remove all these crypto lines from your conky and only use this one:
${execpi 5 /home/logansfury/Desktop/radeontop.sh}

Far Out!!

This is working just fine and refreshing the data steadily like a champ!

Thank you very much! I'm off to google images to look for a suitable GPU icon.

[Logansfury]

Hey Koentje, are you still around?

I have been using your provided scripts as a template to expand upon and I have figured out the syntax by studying your code.

I am going up the column of radeontop info, and have added color block, depth block, and primitive assembly successfully. Then I went for Scan Converter and I ran into an issue. It is printing the sclk info below it's own. I think its because it's code abbreviation of sc is part of sclk?

Here is what it looks like:



Here is the code:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

rm -f ./radeontop.dump
radeontop -l1 -d ./radeontop.dump > /dev/null
wait
sed -i 's/, /\n/g' ./radeontop.dump

sc=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'sc' | awk '{print $2}')
pa=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'pa' | awk '{print $2}')
db=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'db' | awk '{print $2}')
cb=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'cb' | awk '{print $2}')
vram=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'vram' | awk '{print $2" "$3}')
gtt=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'gtt' | awk '{print $2" "$3}')
mclk=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'mclk' | awk '{print $2" "$3}')
sclk=$(cat ./radeontop.dump | grep 'sclk' | awk '{print $2" "$3}')

echo "\${color red}Scan Converter: \${color white}\${alignr}$sc"
echo "\${color red}Primitive Assembly: \${color white}\${alignr}$pa"
echo "\${color red}Depth Block: \${color white}\${alignr}$db"
echo "\${color red}Color Block: \${color white}\${alignr}$cb"
echo "\${color red}Virtual RAM: \${color white}\${alignr}$vram"
echo "\${color red}GTT: \${color white}\${alignr}$gtt"
echo "\${color red}Memory Clock: \${color white}\${alignr}$mclk"
echo "\${color red}Shader Clock: \${color white}\${alignr}$sclk"

Is there a way to make the sc and sclk info display separately and not duplicate data on the scan converter line?

[Logansfury]

I have completed adding all the info to the conky, but I have one misprint.

For some reason, the Scan Converter (sc) is showing the data for Shader Clock (sclk) on a separate line. This is the only issue keeping this widget from being complete!

Suggestions please?

[Logansfury]

I got it.

The issue was indeed that "sc" was seen as part of "sclk" so a grep -w was needed:

Code: Select all

sc=$(grep -w 'sc' ./radeontop.dump | awk '{print $2}')

The display is now perfect

[Koentje]

See, you can do it!

[Logansfury]

Yes but history may never know how many aneurysms I had getting it correct.

I am now moving on to memory! I have discovered the dmidecode command, and am having an issue with permissions. It needs sudo prefix to work in a terminal:

Code: Select all

logansfury@OptiPlex-5040:~$ sudo dmidecode --type 16 | awk '/Maximum Capacity/ {print $3, $4}'
32 GB

I tried it in Conky but no display, Im sure because of permissions:

Code: Select all

${color1}${goto 35}Maximum Capacity: ${color0}${alignr}${exec dmidecode --type 16 | awk '/Maximum Capacity/ {print $3, $4}'}

Is there a way to get conky to perform sudo commands with exec? If not, is there a bash workaround?

Thanks man

[Logansfury]

Is there a way to get conky to perform sudo commands with exec? If not, is there a bash workaround?

I may be on the right track to figuring this out myself, stand by.....

[Logansfury]

Nope, I am stuck.

I have the following .conf:

Code: Select all

conky.text = [[
${color1}${font ConkySymbols:size=16}J${font} ${voffset -10}${goto 35}Memory» ${hr}
${exec /home/logansfury/Desktop/mem.sh}

]];

Here is mem.sh:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

sudo dmidecode --type 16 | awk '/Maximum Capacity/ {print $3, $4}' > mem.txt

# Read content of mem.txt
content=$(<mem.txt)

# Print the content using echo
echo "\${color red}Graphics Pipe: \${color white}\${alignr}$content"

but my output is horrible:



Why are the color and align commands not working in this .sh but working in the GPU .sh?

[Koentje]

If you want the output of a bash script show in the conky window with all the colors and alignments you have to use exec with P.

So ${execp command}

[Koentje]

Just curious.. why don't you use ${memmax} ??

[Logansfury]

It's coming along! My Minimalis is now more of a Maximallis. Working on the second column of data now

Thank you so much for the help Koentje!

[Logansfury]

I think my used/total RAM display uses ${memmax}. It's still the default code that came with Minimalis.

I just added Form Factor and Type Detail to my memory section.

It's been very fun working with the terminal and checking and getting edits from resources to uncover the paths to all this detailed GPU and Memory information.

I believe I learned a lot going line by line editing each until it displayed as desired.

[Koentje]

Maximum Capacity is not the max ram that is in the system, but it seems the max ram the board can handle.
I have 32gb in my system, but Max Capacity says 64gb.

And in your bash script i would not start dmidecode everytime. This uses more cpu resource then is necessary. Start it once and output it in a temporary textfile, then cat the textfile and grep the lines out of it.

Code: Select all

sudo dmidecode --type memory > ./mem.tmp

cat ./mem.tmp | grep "Number Of Devices" | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' > mem.txt
cat ./mem.tmp | awk '/Memory Device/{flag=1; next} flag && $1=="Size:"{print "Size:", $2; exit}' >> mem.txt
cat ./mem.tmp | grep "Maximum Capacity" | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' >> mem.txt
cat ./mem.tmp | awk '/Memory Device/{flag=1; next} flag && $1=="Type:"{print "Type:", $2; exit}' >> mem.txt
cat ./mem.tmp | awk '/Memory Device/{flag=1; next} flag && $1=="Speed:"{print "Speed:", $2" "$3; exit}' >> mem.txt
cat ./mem.tmp | grep -m1 "Configured Voltage" | sed 's/^[[:blank:]]*//' >> mem.txt

[Koentje]

The same for your gpu info... using radeontop uses too much cpu resources and it is slow! It takes more then a seconds to get the info from it, and you run it every 5 seconds. As i said before, i would not recommend using it!
All the info you want from radeontop you can also find in text files within sysfs!

Go to /sys/class/drm/card0/device (or card1 if you have more) and see there, all the info you want!

This is my own script to gather info from my amd gpu.

The same for your gpu info... using radeontop uses too much cpu resources and it is slow! It takes more then a seconds to get the info from it, and you run it every 5 seconds. As i said before, i would not recommend using it!
All the info you want from radeontop you can also find in text files within sysfs!

I will take a look at this as well and set about recreating it with sysfs info.
