I have an error running asitop, it tells that powermetrics got invalid parameter. I looked closer and find out that -u parameter should be passed instead of -o

> powermetrics --help | grep output
    -u | --output-file <file>    output to file [default: stdout]

I am running this on MacBook Air M1 and maybe you have different parameters so let me know if that's a valid fix.

Hi,

thanks for your work on asitop. I am getting the following error on a MacBookPro17,1 (MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)) running macOS 12.0.1.

Hi, I'm getting an error when I try to start it

Model: MBP11,3

powermetrics: unrecognized sampler: bandwidth
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/asitop", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/asitop/asitop.py", line 109, in main
    ready = get_reading()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/asitop/asitop.py", line 105, in get_reading
    time.sleep(wait)

Check the return code of powermetrics process and throw exception if return code is non-zero.

This happens "-u" vs "-o" arguments change and current exception handler does not handle return code.

This patch fixes reported issue: powermetrics: unrecognized order: /tmp/asitop_powermetrics1638952131 #17 and also allows asitop to run on BigSur.

Hi,

I have an M1 Pro, and I've been trying to get asitop to show ANE usage. However, even when executing ML based tasks, such as: https://github.com/asus4/depth-prediction-macOS

The ANE usage is pegged to 0/0w.

Any idea why?

Hello again,

Thanks for merging the fix with powermetrics.

Unfortunately now I am facing another error, maybe that's also because of the different OS versions... Here is a traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/homebrew/bin/asitop", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.9/site-packages/asitop/asitop.py", line 71, in main
    soc_info_dict = get_soc_info()
  File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.9/site-packages/asitop/utils.py", line 136, in get_soc_info
    "e_core_count": core_counts_dict["hw.perflevel1.logicalcpu"],
KeyError: 'hw.perflevel1.logicalcpu'

core_counts_dict calls get_core_counts() and it calls sysctl -a | grep hw.perflevel which returns nothing on BigSur at least

Here is the output that I could get:

~ > sudo sysctl -a | grep hw.p 
hw.packages: 1
hw.pagesize: 16384
hw.pagesize32: 16384
hw.physicalcpu: 8
hw.physicalcpu_max: 8

I use conda (installed via brew install miniforge) for the python installation and I created a new environment for the asitop along with latest version of python (3.10.2).

After installing asitop via pip install asitop, I got following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Removing psutil and reinstalling seems to show that correct arch binary is installed:

pip install psutil                                                                                                                              
Collecting psutil
  Using cached psutil-5.9.1-cp310-cp310-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl
Installing collected packages: psutil
Successfully installed psutil-5.9.1

But I still ended up with same error message.

So I decided to build psutil locally: pip install --no-binary :all: psutil (from https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/blob/master/INSTALL.rst and you need Xcode installed already)

And it finally worked. Thanks for the awesome package.

I'm creating the issue here in case someone else runs into the same issue.

I've been searching for the M2 GPU clock speed for quite a while. Sources cited by Wikipedia (specifically cpu-monkey) are extremely unreliable, and I'm trying to determine something important about the Apple8 microarchitecture. Compared to Apple7, Apple8 supposedly has double the ALUs. That would mean Apple nearly halved the clock speed.

I have an A15 iPhone, but iOS can't run powermetrics for reverse-engineering. If any users could run asitop - or even just sudo powermetrics, that would help a lot. Just show the text of GPU clock speed range for M2. Thanks!

The CPU power limit is set to 25 W. source (P-cores can consume 25 watts for the first few seconds)

The GPU power limit is set to 15 W. source

The memory bandwidth should be 100 GB/s. source

I personally own a MacBook Air equipped with M2, and I am happy to validate the data above if there are proper/recommended ways to estimate the numbers :).

As #6 mentioned, run asitop over a long time, a python progress would occupy large amount of memory. This pr add an option of '--max_count' to specify how many refresh times after to restart the powermetrics process.

hey guys

Ive been trying to get asitop to work but i get the following output, seems like some sort of PATH issue

Successfully installed asitop-0.0.21 natsukirei@Lukes-Mac-Studio ~ % asitop zsh: command not found: asitop

Is this a bug, or are the metrics reported by asitop different from the percentages reported by these other tools?

PS: I am on macOS Ventura, using this fork:

pip uninstall -y asitop
pip install git+https://github.com/SuperKenVery/asitop.git

I keep asitop running all the time on my 2021 16" MBP M1 Max Monterey 12.6.1. It seems that the longer it is left running the most CPU it consumes and after about 12hrs I find that it (python) is consuming 100% of a core according to top. Restarting asitop fixes the issues, but it of course reappears some hours later.

I changed the bandwidths to disk r/w and network i/o.

I think those are more useful, and they avoided the problem that bandwiths are not available on macOS 13.

Can someone successfully install asitop package with poetry?

I use poetry to install asitop package about 1 month ago, it work at that time.

But when I reinstall asitop with poetry today, it stuck and no reaction.

poetry version: 1.2.1 python version: 3.10.6
