Required prerequisites

I have read the documentation https://nvitop.readthedocs.io.
I have searched the Issue Tracker that this hasn't already been reported. (comment there if it has.)
I have tried the latest version of nvitop in a new isolated virtual environment.

Questions

after exec nvitop
1 56752 C N/A 32.34GiB 100 N/A N/A N/A No Such Process
However, when i exec nvidia-smi, i cant find this process 56752.
I tried "kill -9 56752", but it didn't works.
I also tried "fuser -v /dev/nvidia1 | xargs -t -n 1 kill -9", it didn't works.

Question: how to kill 56752 process?

@HuXiLiFeng If you are running in a docker container, the PID from the NVIDIA driver is the host PID rather than the one in the container. So, you got No Such Process. You can add --pid when using docker:

docker run ... --pid=host ...

If you are running in a physical machine, try this:

sudo lsof -t /dev/nvidia*
