GPUIndex
If one or more of these options is specified, only GPUs at that index (as determined by nvidia-utils through nvidia-smi) have statistics collected. If no instance of this option is specified, all GPUs are monitored.
IgnoreSelected
If set to true, all detected GPUs except the ones at indices specified by GPUIndex entries are collected. For greater clarity, setting IgnoreSelected without any GPUIndex directives will result in no statistics being collected.
InstanceByGPUIndex
If set to false, the GPU ID will not be part of the plugin instance. The default is 'GPU ID'-'GPU name'
InstanceByGPUName
If set to false, the GPU name will not be part of the plugin instance. The default is 'GPU ID'-'GPU name'
