Description
Hi,
When running `.ipynb` files, `nvidia-smi` will show the full process name (i.e., python path) (see the below image with the PID=32452), whereas other files running from `.py` won't show any specific name. Is that possible to change this behavior to let it only show **python**?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the different nvidia-smi process names for .ipynb and .py execution using the example in the issue. Trace how each process is launched and identify whether the displayed name can be changed; done means notebook-launched processes show only python, or the limitation is documented.
