## What it is
NVTOP is an htop-like ncurses task monitor for GPUs and AI accelerators, supporting NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple, Huawei Ascend, Qualcomm Adreno, and other vendors. It displays per-process GPU utilization, memory, and temperature in a terminal interface.

## Use cases
- monitor gpu usage from the terminal
- see which processes are using the gpu
- htop-like monitor for nvidia and amd gpus
- check gpu memory utilization per process
- monitor apple m1 m2 gpu usage
- watch huawei ascend or qualcomm adreno accelerator metrics

## When to choose
- you want a single tool that works across many GPU vendors
- you prefer a terminal/ncurses interface over GUI tools
- you need per-process GPU monitoring on Linux
- you manage mixed-vendor GPU servers

## When to avoid
- you need historical metrics collection or alerting rather than live monitoring
- you need a GUI dashboard
- you need Windows-native GPU monitoring
- you only need nvidia-smi-style one-shot output

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, cli, terminal-ui
- domain: monitoring, developer-tools, gpu-computing, hardware
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: gpu-monitoring, ncurses, htop-like, nvidia, amd, intel, apple-silicon, ascend, adreno, system-monitor, command-line, linux, macos
