nvidia-smi显示如下，指示GPU0已使用3.77GB，但未列出GPU0的进程：

类似地，nvtop显示了相同的GPU RAM利用率，但是其列出的进程显示了TYPE=Compute，如果您试图杀死PID，则显示错误：

(base) ~/.../fast-autoaugment$ kill 27761
bash: kill: (27761) - No such process

如何回收看似鬼进程占用的GPU RAM？

Answer 1

使用以下命令深入了解占用GPU RAM的幻影进程：

sudo fuser -v /dev/nvidia*

在我的情况下，输出为：

(base) ~/.../fast-autoaugment$ sudo fuser -v /dev/nvidia*
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/nvidia0:        shitals     517 F.... nvtop
                     root       1910 F...m Xorg
                     gdm        2027 F.... gnome-shell
                     root       3086 F...m Xorg
                     shitals    3237 F.... gnome-shell
                     shitals   27808 F...m python
                     shitals   27809 F...m python
                     shitals   27813 F...m python
                     shitals   27814 F...m python
                     shitals   28091 F...m python
                     shitals   28092 F...m python
                     shitals   28096 F...m python

这显示了nvidia-smi和nvtop无法显示的进程。我杀死所有python进程后，就释放了GPU RAM。

另一种尝试的方法是使用以下命令重置GPU：

sudo nvidia-smi --gpu-reset -i 0

GPU RAM已占用，但没有PID
