Note Consult NVIDIA product release notes for the latest information on compatibility with compute and

The gpumodeswitch utility supports the following commands:
• --listgpumodes
This command writes information to a log file named
listgpumodes.txt in the current working
directory.
• --gpumode graphics
Switches to graphics mode. Switches mode of all supported GPUs in the server unless you specify
otherwise when prompted.
• --gpumode compute

Note After you switch GPU mode, reboot the server to ensure that the modified resources of the GPU are
correctly accounted for by any OS or hypervisor running on the server.
