Feature description

Hi Wave team,

First of all, thanks for the great work on Wave Terminal.

I’d like to request a new feature: a GPU usage widget, similar to the existing
sysinfo CPU widget.

Motivation

  • Monitor GPU usage directly from Wave while working, without relying on
    external tools (Task Manager, MSI Afterburner, etc.).
  • Keep CPU, RAM and GPU graphs together inside the terminal environment.
  • Very useful for GPU‑bound workloads (ML, gaming, video processing, GPU‑accelerated
    applications, etc.) on any kind of GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, integrated or
    dedicated).

Desired behavior

  • A widget that shows real‑time GPU utilization as a graph (percentage).
  • Metrics that would be helpful:
    • GPU utilization (%)
    • VRAM / shared memory usage (MB / %)
    • Optionally temperature and power usage if available on the platform
  • Behavior and look similar to the existing sysinfo CPU graph:
    • Configurable time window
    • Hover to see exact values
  • If multiple GPUs are present, allow:
    • Selecting which GPU to display, or
    • Showing one graph per GPU.

Platform

  • OS: Windows 11 Home (but the feature would be useful across platforms)
  • GPUs: Any vendor/type (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, integrated or dedicated)

Nice‑to‑have

  • Simple configuration in the widget definition, e.g.:
    • type: "gpuinfo" or
    • Extend sysinfo to support metric: "gpu".

Thanks for considering this feature! I’d be happy to help test it.
