@HuXiLiFeng If you are running in a docker container, the PID from the NVIDIA driver is the host PID rather than the one in the container. So, you got No Such Process. You can add --pid when using docker:

docker run ... --pid=host ...

If you are running in a physical machine, try this:

sudo lsof -t /dev/nvidia*
