Property Details

The "HasDualGpu" property

HasDualGpu  readable   b

Whether two switchable GPUs are present on the system. This property has been obsoleted in favour of the "NumGPUs" property.

The "NumGPUs" property

NumGPUs  readable   u

The number of GPUs available on the system. Note that while having no GPUs is unlikely, consumers of this API should probably not throw errors if that were the case.

The "GPUs" property

GPUs  readable   aa{sv}

An array of key-pair values representing each GPU. The key named "Name" (s) will contain a user-facing name for the GPU, the "Environment" (as) key will contain an array of even number of strings, each being an environment variable to set to use the GPU, followed by its value, the "Default" (b) key will tag the default (usually integrated) GPU.
