okay bestie, you're looking at the manual page for intel_upload_blit_large(1), straight out of the General Commands Manual — and it's giving niche GPU microbenchmark realness 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_upload_blit_large - Microbenchmark of Intel GPU performance

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Literally just this, no flags, no extra args, no cap:

intel_upload_blit_large

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so intel_upload_blit_large is a microbenchmark tool for DRM performance 🎀 Run it with kernel modesetting enabled — that's the vibe it wants — and it may require root privilege for correct operation. It does not require X to be running, which is lowkey iconic of it.

Because it's a microbenchmark, its utility is largely for regression testing of the kernel, and not for general conclusions on graphics performance. So don't use it to declare your GPU the main character without context, iykyk 🦋

heads up bestie: this is a kernel regression-testing microbenchmark, not a general graphics-performance review tool 💀
