While troubleshooting a compute node that hosts several NVIDIA GPUs, you start nvtop in a terminal to watch GPU activity. The process list is currently sorted by overall GPU utilization, but you want to change the sort key so the processes that are using the most GPU memory are listed first. Which interactive key should you press inside nvtop to choose a different field for sorting?
Press F2 to enter the setup menu.
Press F9 to select and kill the highlighted process.
Press F12 to save the current interface configuration.
nvtop provides a set of function-key shortcuts for common interactive actions. Pressing F6 opens the sort-selection prompt, letting you pick the metric (such as GPU memory, SM utilization, or power draw) that the process list will be ordered by. Other keys serve different purposes:
F2 opens the setup window for interface options but does not change the sort field.
F9 sends a signal to the highlighted process ("kill" dialog).
F12 writes the current interface settings to the configuration file. Because only F6 initiates the sort-field selection, it is the correct choice.
