Abstract: A malware neutralization system for a computer network includes an intrusion detection system (IDS) in data communications with the computer network. The IDS is arranged to: i) detect malware communications between a malware command and control (C2) server and a malware client on a computer connected to the computer network and ii) send a malware alert to a malware response server. The malware response server is in communications with the computer network and arranged to: i) receive the first malware alert, ii) determine the type of malware threat based on the first malware alert, iii) intercept one or more malware messages from the malware client that are directed to the malware C2 server, iv) instantiate an appropriate malware response module, and v) use the loaded response module to send one or more malware response messages to the malware client to disrupt an operation of the malware client.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for packing multiple shader programs of a common shader program type onto a graphics processing unit (GPU). The techniques may include, for example, causing a plurality of shader programs of a common shader program type to be loaded into an on-chip shader program instruction memory of a graphics processor such that each shader program in the plurality of shader programs resides in the on-chip shader program instruction memory at a common point in time. In addition, various techniques for evicting shader programs from an on-chip shader program instruction memory are described.
