Title
GPU malware
Goal
What can malware do if it's running on a modern GPU?
Description
The modern GPU is a high-powered general-purpose computer system, with large quantities of memory and the ability to access parts of the CPU memory space. On APU systems, it can potentially access hardware devices too. Investigate what malicious software running on the GPU might be capable of. I'd be particularly interested in the implications for APU systems such as AMD Ryzen - can you do stealth network communication from the GPU, for example?
