Declared hardware is idle or shut down

On this page

Mechanisms

R2 On-chip telemetry from timing, memory and performance counters ⚠primary
Utilization and residency signals indicate whether declared-idle hardware is busy ¹.
R2 Timed challenge-response and memory-occupation challengesprimary
Compute and memory probes can reveal whether a GPU is engaged in other work ³.
R1 Hardware performance throttling and licensingsupporting
Unlicensed hardware falls back to reduced capacity or shuts down ³.

Implementations

R2 GPU contention probesprimary
Assessed use: detecting another workload running on the same GPUSolve times lengthen when another workload runs on the GPU ¹.
R2 VRAM-residency challengeprimary
Assessed use: detecting whether verifier-supplied data remains in a single GPU's memoryA timely answer shows that the challenge data still occupies GPU memory ¹.
