We can't build a static binary because that would require bundling the closed source NVML library in cAdvisor. Instead, gonvml uses dlopen to dynamically load NVML.

Go Bindings for NVML
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
[NVML or NVIDIA Management
|
|
Library](https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-management-library-nvml) is a
|
|
C-based API that can be used for monitoring NVIDIA GPU devices. It's closed
|
|
source but can be downloaded as part of the [GPU Deployment
|
|
Kit](https://developer.nvidia.com/gpu-deployment-kit).
|
|
|
|
The [NVML API
|
|
Reference](http://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/nvml-api/nvml-api-reference.html)
|
|
describe various methods that are available as part of NVML.
|
|
|
|
The `nvml.h` file is included in this repository so that we don't depend on
|
|
the presence of NVML in the build environment.
|
|
|
|
The `bindings.go` file is the cgo bridge which calls the NVML functions. The
|
|
cgo preamble in `bindings.go` uses `dlopen` to dynamically load NVML and makes
|
|
its functions available.
