# Introduction to ROCm Data Center Tool User Guide
|
|
|
|
The ROCm™ Data Center Tool™ (RDC) simplifies the administration and addresses key infrastructure challenges in AMD GPUs in cluster and datacenter environments. The main features are:
|
|
|
|
• GPU telemetry
|
|
|
|
• GPU statistics for jobs
|
|
|
|
• Integration with third-party tools
|
|
|
|
• Open source
|
|
|
|
You can use the tool in standalone mode if all components are installed. However, the existing management tools can use the same set of features available in a library format.
|
|
|
|
For details on different modes of operation, refer to [Starting RDC](install).
|
|
|
|
## Objective
|
|
|
|
This user guide is intended to:
|
|
|
|
• Provide an overview of the RDC tool features.
|
|
|
|
• Describe how system administrators and Data Center (or HPC) users can administer and configure AMD GPUs.
|
|
|
|
• Describe the components.
|
|
|
|
• Provide an overview of the open source developer handbook.
|
|
