Can Intel Graphics Control Library (IGCL) monitor Energy on external Graphics like Nvidia ?

Hello @sentientSpark_Intel ,
Thank you for the help last time in the thread.

I have a following simple question. In addition to the Intel Graphics, does IGCL also support to monitor Energy (in Joule) on external GPU Graphics , like Nvidia ? If yes,  is the retrieved value trusted ?

No, Intel Graphics Control Library (IGCL) cannot monitor energy consumption on external graphics cards like Nvidia.

IGCL is specifically designed to interact with Intel integrated graphics and doesn't have the capability to access data from external GPUs.

To monitor energy consumption on an Nvidia GPU, you'll need to use NVIDIA's proprietary APIs or tools, or leverage system-level power monitoring utilities provided by the operating system.
