 ## Monitoring GPU Usage
 
 > :warning:  Thesis students only have access to `philae.polito.it` (as specified [here](/servers)), which does not have a GPU installed. So, the information below is only for other group members.
 
+You can monitor the GPU utilization and GPU memory occupation of your scripts using the `nvidia-smi` command. A nicer looking version of the same information can also be obtained using the alternative custom script `nvidia-htop.py`. 
+
+Differently from `htop`, these two commands produce the output once and then terminate immediately. If you want to see a continuously updating output, similar to htop, you can launch the scripts with the `watch` command line utility. For example:
+```
+watch nvidia-htop.py
+```
+Check the man page of watch for details on its usage.
