Learn why some vulnerabilities resist to fuzzing and persist in long-enrolled OSS-Fuzz projects, and how you can find them!
Glitches in games, especially used for speedrunning, are one of the most fun aspects of hacking to watch!
As an example, check out this video "How Speedrunners BEAT Hollow Knight Silksong In 10 Minutes!" by Abyssoft
Graphcore basically slapped a bit of SRAM onto every core, *inside* the processor tile.
GPU memory (VRAM) is super far away by comparison.
The ~2,400 cores on the Graphcore C2 could all run independent tasks without waiting in batches (aka, MIMD instead of SIMT).
The “opposite” of a GPU is kinda weird.
Graphcore has a strange chip (IPU) that loves tiny batches...but is also massively parallel.
It used to cost ~$100k. Now you can get one on Ebay for $160 bucks.
The catch is it's almost impossible to use.
Time to promote this one in 1h. This was an incredible research project, and having seen the talk before at WHY, it's really well explained despite how technical it is.
