--- Comment #1 from Arjen Hiemstra <ahiems...@heimr.nl> ---
The problem with using the suggested library is that the headers are in a
proprietary SDK that cannot be freely distributed, which means that it would
make the NVidia GPU integration practically unbuildable on most machines. Even
if we were to include the header in ksystemstats (which its license doesn't
actually allow, but I see some projects do) we'd still be stuck since the
library itself is bundled in the driver and that is generally also not
installed on build machines.

So ultimately, running `nvidia-smi` is pretty much the only way we can support
this without introducing a nasty build system issue. And frankly, it seems to
me that it's an upstream issue anyway? Running `nvidia-smi` shouldn't have such
an impact in the first place?
