Tegrastats reports 2 GPUs on AGX Orin devkit

When I run tegrastats on the AGX Orin devkit, I notice that it reports data for 2 GPUs. As per the specifications, it seems that there is only one GPU. Could you please clarify what G3RD and G3RD2 refer to here?

Are you testing with JetPack 5.1?
If not, please upgrade to this version to try again.

Thanks

Hi,
This is expected. Orin iGPU contains two GPCs. Each GPCs contain their frequency controller. So 2 nodes correspond to those 2 controllers. You can calculate the average loading by checking the values.

Got it. So the GPU utilization can be calculated by taking the average of the two values reported?

Hi,

Yes, each node represents a cluster loading.
The average of two scores will get the overall GPU loading.

For GPCs info, please find below document:

Thanks.
