NVTOP

on
NVTOP is a powerful, real-time GPU monitoring tool for Linux that provides a dynamic, interactive terminal user interface (TUI) to monitor NVIDIA GPUs and other vendors’ accelerators. It functions similarly to the Linux process monitor htop but is focused on graphics cards, giving users live stats such as GPU utilization, memory usage, temperature, power draw, and active processes in a visually rich ASCII format within the terminal. Unlike the static output of tools like nvidia-smi , NVTOP offers a constantly updating and interactive display, allowing users to sort, filter, and zoom without leaving the terminal. It supports multi-GPU setups by displaying all GPUs side-by-side, making it especially useful for data scientists, AI researchers, gamers, and administrators managing high-performance or multi-user GPU environments. NVTOP is built in C and uses the ncurses library for its terminal-based UI. It queries the NVIDIA Management Library (NVML) to collect GPU statistics and present...

Unlocking the Power of Wireless Debugging with Shizuku

on


In the vast realm of Android development and customization, a little-known gem has been making waves: the Shizuku app. This tool brings convenience and functionality to developers and power users alike, especially when paired with Android's wireless debugging feature. Let's dive deeper.


Shizuku is an app primarily designed for users who want to manage their apps without root access. It provides advanced app management capabilities by leveraging Android's "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) permissions. This means that users can perform certain root-like actions without actually rooting their device.




Traditional debugging on Android required a USB connection between the developer's computer and the Android device. With the introduction of wireless debugging, this tethered connection is no longer necessary. Developers can now send adb commands over a wireless network, offering greater flexibility and mobility.


Setting up Shizuku is simple. Once you've enabled wireless debugging on your device, connect to the same network as your computer, and input the provided IP and port into Shizuku. The app then establishes a connection, granting it adb-level permissions.





With Shizuku's permissions and the flexibility of wireless debugging, users can easily manage app permissions, access advanced settings, and even force-stop stubborn apps—all without being tethered to a computer.


Example:

adb shell am force-stop <package-name>


One of the significant benefits of using Shizuku over traditional rooting methods is the reduced risk. Since there's no modification of the system partition, there's a lesser chance of bricking your device or voiding warranties. Plus, with wireless debugging, users can quickly disconnect if they feel a security breach.





Shizuku is designed to work seamlessly across a wide range of Android devices and versions. The combination of Shizuku and wireless debugging means that users with even the latest Android versions can take advantage of advanced app management features.
