# tuned-amdgpu
|
|
|
|
Hacky solution to integrate AMDGPU power profile control in `tuned` with Ansible
|
|
|
|
Takes a list of existing `tuned` profiles and creates new ones based on them. These new profiles include AMDGPU power/clock parameters
|
|
|
|
An attempt is made to discover the active GPU using the 'connected' state in the `DRM` subsystem, example:
|
|
```
|
|
$ grep -ls ^connected /sys/class/drm/*/status | grep -o card[0-9] | sort | uniq | sort -h | tail -1
|
|
card1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Warning_: This is only tested with `RX6000` series GPUs, it is probable that older AMD GPUs will not work properly. Use at your own risk!
|
|
|
|
## Profiles
|
|
|
|
An example of the output/provided profiles follow
|
|
|
|
| Output profile | Description |
|
|
|:---|---|
|
|
| `balanced-amdgpu-default` | Includes the (assumed) existing `balanced` tuned profile.<br/><br/>Only adjusts the GPU power limit (typically lower). Clocks/voltage curve remain the default. |
|
|
| `desktop-amdgpu-VR` | Includes the (assumed) existing `desktop` tuned profile.<br/><br/>Adjusts the GPU power limit, clocks, _and_ the voltage curve.<br/><br/>Uses the predefined `VR` profile in the driver. See `/sys/class/drm/card*/device/pp_power_profile_mode` |
|
|
| `latency-performance-amdgpu-custom` | Includes the existing `latency-performance` tuned profile.<br/><br/>Like the existing GPU profiles (eg: _VR)), this also adjusts the GPU power limit, clocks, _and_ the voltage curve.<br/><br/>This differs by using the `custom` profile in the driver. This opens up further tweaking of the power/clock heuristics through the driver (currently manual). see: [pp-dpm](https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/amdgpu/thermal.html#pp-dpm) |
|
|
|
|
**Note**: This is non-exhaustive, see the variables `base_profiles` and `amdgpu_profiles` below for the (default) sources of the merged profile mapping

|
## Notable variables
|
|
|
|
These are the variables you're likely to want to change. They are defined in [playbook.yml](playbook.yml)
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Description | In-playbook |
|
|
|------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| gpu_clock_min | Sets the minimum (dynamic) GPU clock (in `Mhz`) for the non-default `amdgpu` profiles | `700` |
|
|
| gpu_clock_max | Sets the maximum (dynamic) GPU clock (in `MHz`) for the non-default `amdgpu` profiles | `2600`, results in `2.6GHz` (rounded); mild overclock |
|
|
| gpumem_clock_static | Sets the _static_ memory clock for the GPU (in `MHz`). This is *not* the _effective_ data rate. That is a multiple of this depending on the type of VRAM.<br/><br/>To avoid flickering this does *not* change dynamically with load. | `1050`, results in just over `1GHz`; mild overclock<br/><br/>Actual effective clock depends on this being multiplied against the data/pump rate of the `GDDR?` GPU memory |
|
|
| gpu_mv_offset | GPU core voltage offset. Takes +/- some integer in millivolts. Can be used to both over _and_ under volt. | `-50` (undervolt `50mV` or `0.05V`) |
|
|
| base_profiles | List of base tuned profiles to clone in the new AMDGPU profiles. Defaults based on `Fedora` | <ul><li>`balanced`</li><li>`desktop`</li><li>`latency-performance`</li><li>`network-latency`</li><li>`network-throughput`</li><li>`powersave`</li><li>`virtual-host`</li>|
|
|
| amdgpu_profiles | Dictionary mapping the AMDGPU power profiles found in `/sys/class/drm/card*/device/pp_power_profile_mode` and custom power limits.<br/><br>For each item, two keys: `pwrmode` and `pwr_cap_multi`.<br/><br/>`pwrmode` maps to the number assigned in `/sys` above.<br/>`pwr_cap_multi` is a multiplier against board power capability. Must be a float, eg: `0.5` for *50%* | <pre>default:<br/> pwrmode: 0<br/> pwr_cap_multi: 0.75<br/> # 75% relatively safe default<br/>VR:<br/> pwrmode: 4<br/> pwr_cap_multi: 0.8<br/> # 80%, likely slight boost<br/>custom:<br/> pwrmode: 6<br/> pwr_cap_multi: 1.0<br/> # 100%, full GPU board capability<br/> # warning: significantly increased heat</pre>|
