DevPulse
Real-time system and container resource monitoring — GPU, CPU, RAM, VRAM — right in your VS Code sidebar.
Why DevPulse?
Working on a shared GPU server? Running dozens of containers? DevPulse gives you a live dashboard without leaving your editor. See who's using what GPU, which container is eating your RAM, and kill runaway processes — all from the sidebar.
Features
- Container Resources Table — Sortable table of all running containers with VRAM, CPU, RAM. Click column headers to sort. Group by owner to see per-user resource usage.
- GPU Monitoring — NVIDIA (nvidia-smi), AMD (rocm-smi), Apple Silicon. Per-GPU VRAM maps with user color coding.
- System Metrics — CPU and RAM usage in the status bar and sidebar with visual bars.
- Process Management — Kill GPU processes, stop/restart/force-kill containers, view logs — directly from the sidebar.
- WebView Dashboard — Full GPU/process visualization panel (
Ctrl+Shift+P → "Open GPU Monitor").
- Container-Aware — Works both on the host and from inside Docker containers (automatic fallback via
docker top).

No GPU? Shows system metrics and containers only. No Docker? Shows GPU and system metrics. Everything degrades gracefully.
