GPU Shark 0.10.0 Released with Shared Memory Support (Updated: v0.10.0.4)

A new version of GPU Shark, a tiny GPU monitoring utility (Windows 32-bit) for NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards is available.

1 – Overview

GPU Shark 0.10.0 adds new memory types for NVIDIA GPUs (GDDR5X, HBM1 and HBM2) and brings a new feature: the shared memory support. Thanks to this feature, any application can read the GPU data shared by GPU Shark.

In the current version, up to 4 GPUs are available in the shared memory which should be enough. A code sample in C/C++ as well as the executable are available in the GPU Shark zip archive (SharedMemoryReader/ folder). Here are the C structures that define GPU Shark shared memory block:

#define SHMEM_NAME _T("GPUShark_ShMem")
#define SHMEM_HEADER_SIGNATURE "[Geeks3D_GPUShark]"
#define SHMEM_HEADER_VERSION "[20170514]"

struct shmem_GPU_t
{
  char name[128];
  char codename[128];
  uint32_t vendor_id;
  uint32_t device_id;
  float core_temperature;
  float core_clock;
  float mem_clock;
  float fan_speed_percent;
  float core_usage;
  float mem_usage;
  float power_percent;
  uint8_t padding[28];
};

#define GPUSHARK_SHMEM_MAX_GPUS 4

struct GPUSHARK_SHMEM
{
  char signature[32]; 
  char version[16];
  uint32_t num_gpus;
  shmem_GPU_t gpus[GPUSHARK_SHMEM_MAX_GPUS];
};

GPU Shark updates the shared memory every second. For each GPU, essential GPU data is exposed: name + codename, GPU core (temperature, clock speed and usage), GPU memory (clock speed and usage), power consumption (% TDP) and fan speed. The GPU monitoring works only for AMD Radeon/FirePro and NVIDIA GeForce/Quadro graphics cards. Intel GPUs are listed but not monitored.
