SSUG::Digital: 018 – NVIDIA GPU Direct Storage with IBM Spectrum Scale
19th January 2022 @ 15:00 - 16:00 GMT
With GPUDirect Storage (GDS) NVIDIA has created a data path from the storage directly into the buffer of NVIDIA GPUs. IBM Spectrum Scale is perfectly suited to take advantage of this feature from NVIDIA to further enhance storage performance. This joint session by NVIDIA and IBM development provides GDS overview, highlights how GDS has been integrated with Spectrum Scale and how it can be used to drive higher performance.
