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:

Nouveau does not appear to support Pascal cards right now, so you should use the proprietary NVIDIA driver, available from the Additional Drivers applet.

How I switched from mdadm to btrfs

After reading [this Ars Technica article][1], I decided that I wanted to start using btrfs on my home fileserver. It had been running for a few years with an mdadm raid-10 array, formatted with ext4, holding about 3.4 TB of data. I figured I would take advantage of some of the special capabilities of btrfs to perform the conversion in place. After some research, I formed my basic plan.

  • backup data to external drives
  • remove two of the drives from the mdadm raid-10
  • configure those two drive with a btrfs raid-0 filesystem
  • copy the data from the degraded mdadm raid-10 to the new btrfs raid-0
  • completely deactivate the mdadm raid-10
