How to set up a transient cluster using GNU parallel and SSHFS for distributed jobs (such as FFmpeg media encodes)

Transient compute clustering with GNU Parallel and sshfs:

GNU Parallel is a multipurpose program for running shell commands in parallel, which can often be used to replace shell script loops,find -exec, and find | xargs. It provides the --sshlogin and --sshloginfile options to farm out jobs to multiple hosts, as well as options for sending and retrieving static resources and and per-job input and output files.

For any particular task, however, keeping track of which files need to pushed to and retrieved from the remote hosts is somewhat of a hassle. Furthermore, cancelled or failed runs can leave garbage on the remote hosts, and if input and output files are large, sending them to local disk on the remote hosts is somewhat inefficient.

In a traditional cluster, this problem would be solved by giving all nodes access to a shared filesystem, usually with NFS or something more exotic. However, NFS doesn't wo

This gist will show you how to tune your Intel-based Skylake, Kabylake and beyond Integrated Graphics Core for performance and reliability through GuC and HuC firmware usage on Linux.

Tuning Intel Skylake and beyond for optimal performance and feature level support on Linux:

Note that on Skylake, Kabylake (and the now cancelled "Broxton") SKUs, functionality such as power saving, GPU scheduling and HDMI audio have been moved onto binary-only firmware, and as such, the GuC and the HuC blobs must be loaded at run-time to access this functionality.

Enabling GuC and HuC on Skylake and above requires a few extra parameters be passed to the kernel before boot.

Instructions provided for both Fedora and Ubuntu (including Debian):

Note that the firmware for these GPUs is often packaged by your distributor, and as such, you can confirm the firmware blob's availability by running:

Convert .crt & .key files into .pem file for HTTParty

Two ways to do it, but only worked for me so I'll put it first and the second for reference:

$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hostname.key -out hostname.p12
$ openssl pkcs12 -in hostname.p12 -nodes -out hostname.pem

Other options for this method in comments below:

# Note, the -certfile root.crt appends all CA certs to the export, I've never needed these so it's optional for my personal steps
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hostname.key -certfile root.crt -out hostname.p12

Note, I've always had my hostname.crt as part of my .pem, so I keep my certs but apparently you may not have to, hence the nocerts flag being an extra option in this sample
