NVIDIA GPU-based FAN controller for SUPERMICRO server

This controller enables automatic adjustments of FANs in SUPERMICRO servers based on GPU temperature. Only NVIDIA GPUs are supported since the tool uses nvidia-smi to parse the GPU temperature. FANs are controlled through IPMI tool (impitool) using the modified superfans (https://github.com/putnam/superfans) script.

Requirements

• Linux (tested on Ubuntu 16.04)
• Python 2.7
• nvidia drivers/tools (nvidia-smi)
• IPMI tool (impitool) with loaded module (modprobe ipmi_devintf)

Tested on SUPERMICRO 4029GP TRT2 with RTX 2080 Ti (nvidia 415.27 drivers).

Usage

python superfans_gpu_controller.py
