Can WinPmem dump gpu memory?

Open ImanHosseini opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I did not find this question covered anywhere: can WinPmem dump GPU memory as well? This question actually breaks down into 2: (1) Can it dump dedicated gpu memory on a discrete gpu? (2) can it dump the memory used by iGPU (Intel UHD/..) which shares the system RAM?

This tool avoids reading from non-RAM-backed memory. That includes DMA range used by the graphic card. It would be better to create a separate project for reading GPU memory as it comes with its own difficulties. Same for network cards.

Thank you. Do you know of any open source tool which does that or any pointers on where to start making such a tool?
