Visualize NPU Performance in Linux

[neeleshg23]

I know Task Manager in Windows can show NPU performance, but I was wondering if there existed anything similar for the NPU on Linux.

I have been using intel_gpu_top as a confirmation and was hoping that maybe something like intel_npu_top could exist in the near future.

Thanks!

Is there a npu monitor for ubuntu 24.04/10? If so how do we use it?

The nokyan/resources today offers the utilization monitor in Ubuntu24.10 for NPU
