Show HN: Utilyze — Open Source GPU Monitoring That Measures Actual Compute Throughput vs. Theoretical Limits
Utilyze, a new Apache 2.0 open-source GPU monitoring tool, hit 101 points on HN by offering a fundamentally different approach to GPU utilization measurement: it samples hardware performance counters and reports compute and memory throughput relative to the hardware's theoretical maximum, rather than the misleading 'GPU utilization' percentage that nvtop and similar tools display. For AI practitioners running local training or inference, this means finally knowing whether your GPU is actually compute-bound or memory-bound — a distinction that determines whether you need a bigger model, better batching, or different hardware.
