# intel\_gpu\_dump(1)

Print out debugging information on the state of the Intel GPU.

## NAME

intel\_gpu\_dump - Print out debugging information on the state of the Intel GPU.

## SYNOPSIS

```
intel_gpu_dump
intel_gpu_dump [ filename ]
```

## DESCRIPTION

**intel\_gpu\_dump** is a tool to log the current state of an Intel GPU when it is hung, for later analysis.  It requires kernel 2.6.30rc1 or newer, debugfs mounted on /sys/kernel/debug or /debug, and root privilege for mapping the device to inspect it.

### Options

- **filename**

  Decodes just one batchbuffer or ringbuffer dump, rather than dumping all of the GPU state.
