As workflows shift away from the CPU in GPU-centric systems, the data path from storage to GPUs increasingly becomes the bottleneck. NVIDIA and its partners are relieving that bottleneck with a new technology called GPUDirect Storage, that enables DMA directly to and from GPU memory. This can improve bandwidth, reduce latency, reduce CPU-side memory management overheads, and reduce interference with CPU utilization.
