Is It Possible to Run Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) Enclave Code on a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)?

Attempting to execute enclave code on a GPU.

Enclave code cannot run on a GPU. Due to code and data isolation requirements for Intel® SGX security, enclave code must run on a CPU that has Intel® SGX enabled.

If an enclave requires data that comes from operations on a GPU, the enclave must make an ocall into the untrusted application and the untrusted application can make GPU calls.

Refer to the Intel® SGX Developer Reference Guide for your OS for more information on developing Intel® SGX applications.
