Could you build this?
No Building a zero-dependency, rootless terminal monitor that queries NVML, Apple Silicon IOKit, Linux cgroups, and Kubernetes pod mappings requires deep systems programming and OS driver knowledge.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires low-level systems programming in Rust or Go, dynamically linking to NVIDIA's NVML library without CGO and querying macOS IOKit/Metal private APIs. It must parse `/proc`, `/sys`, and Linux cgroups (v1/v2) to trace GPU device access back through container runtimes to Kubernetes pod manifests, while streaming real-time metrics into a low-latency TUI interface.
