GPU process "...rack-uuid=3190708988185955192" showing via nvidia-smi in terminal.

Hi, I am currently seeing the GPU process “…rack-uuid=3190708988185955192,” when typing “nvidia-smi,” in the terminal. After closing Brave Browser said process disappears. If someone could look into whether or not this is intended that would be much appreciated. Thank you.

OS: Linux Mint

GPU: NVIDIA

Brave Browser Version: v1.85.118

Probably expected behavior, for a Brave GPU-accelerated process. Perplexity.ai:

  • Brave uses Chromium’s GPU sandboxed process to accelerate rendering, video decode, and compositing, and that process shows up as a CUDA/OpenGL client in nvidia-smi on systems with NVIDIA drivers.
  • The long rack-uuid=... argument is an internal identifier Chromium/Brave passes to its GPU process and is not itself an NVIDIA GPU UUID or an indication of malware.
