With more GPU-in-the-cloud offerings coming on line, is there a utility to dump GPU memory to see if your cloud provider has wiped it between customers?

Just read a pretty interesting paper on just this recently - we actually load/unload the drivers for every instance, which in turn also wipes the GPU’s memory. There’s a tool I wrote to test just this, albeit I haven’t uploaded it to GitHub yet. Might do that sometime this weekend.

Do you happen to recall the title of the paper? Would be interested (in the utility as well if you do happen to upload it to github) Thanks!

Yes! Here’s a link to the paper: http://www.eurecom.fr/fr/publication/4205/download/rs-publi-...
