What is GPU Rowhammer?

It's Rowhammer adapted for GPU DRAM—hammer rows to flip neighbor bits via physics leaks. GPUHammer made it practical on NVIDIA GDDR6.

Does my RTX 4090 have GPU Rowhammer vulnerability?

Yes. No ECC on consumer GDDR6/GDDR6X. Attacks work on stock hardware per Georgia Tech.

Demand NVIDIA TRR/ECC updates. Use checksums on outputs. Avoid untrusted multi-tenant GPUs for sensitive inference.

🤖 AI Dev Tools

Eight bit-flips in four rows. On a stock NVIDIA GPU. GPUHammer just made Rowhammer a graphics card killer.
