Finding the NUMA Node of a Nvidia CUDA GPU in Linux

For some applications it might be useful to pin their CPU processes to the NUMA node which is connected to the GPU. To find out which GPU is located at which NUMA node one can use the following script:

for i in $(nvidia-smi -x -q | grep "gpu id" | awk -F "\"" '{print $2}' | awk -F ":" '{print "0000:"  $2 ":"  $3}' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'); do echo $i; cat "/sys/bus/pci/devices/$i/numa_node"; done

Pinning the CPU process to the right NUMA node can speed up your application significantly on all Nvidia GPUs like the double precision HPC GPUs Tesla V100, A100 and A10, the professional Quadro RTX GPUs as well as all CUDA capable GeForce GPUs.
