How nvmlReturmlDeviceGetAccountingStats figure out gpuUtilization if more than one processes run on one gpu?

Developer Tools Other Tools System Management and Monitoring (NVML)

We could use “nvmlReturn_t nvmlDeviceGetAccountingStats ( nvmlDevice_t device, unsigned int pid, nvmlAccountingStats_t* stats )” to capture GPU utilization and other statistics across the lifetime of a process.

From my testing, if there are more than one process run on one gpu, the pid’s gpuUtilization will be affected by other processes a lot. How does API calculate gpu utilization if many processes run on one gpu? Should I trust the accounting stats returned by this API?

I am also curious to know what happens in this case.

I would like to know if there is a conclusion to this question currently.

Thanks.
