Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage
A Direct Path Between Storage and GPU Memory
As datasets increase in size, the time spent loading data can impact application performance. GPUDirect® Storage creates a direct data path between local or remote storage, such as NVMe or NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF), and GPU memory. By enabling a direct-memory access (DMA) engine near the network adapter or storage, it moves data into or out of GPU memory—without burdening the CPU.
Key Features of v1.14
The following features have been added in v1.14:
- Updated GDS user level stats to show P2PDMA stats
- Updated GDS kernel mode driver (nvidia-fs.ko) to support 6.12 kernel
- Added Get/Put API support for GDS Parameters, enabling read/write access for size_t, bool, and string types.
- Assorted bug fixes
