Why?

  • Training and large-batch inference workflows are IO intensive; NVMe and GPUDirect reduce CPU overhead and latency.
  • Efficient data pipelines to GPUs are essential to avoid compute idle time and improve cost-effectiveness.

What?

  • Evaluate GPUDirect Storage, NVMe-over-Fabrics, and tiered storage patterns (hot caches on local NVMe).
  • Benchmark end-to-end data ingestion paths and integrate with training pipelines and orchestration.
  • Align storage topology with dataset lifecycle and backup/replication policies.
