Accelerating IO in the Modern Data Center: Magnum IO Architecture

Originally published at: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/accelerating-io-in-the-modern-data-center-magnum-io-architecture/

Previously the boundary of the unit of computing, sheet metal no longer constrains the resources that can be applied to a single problem or the data set that can be housed. The new unit is the data center. A single box can hold not just one GPU, CPU, and NIC, but a host of cooperating…

Bringing these many parts together has been an exhilarating labor of love. But the fun part is collaborating with others to build a community around the innovations so they fit together to solve end to end problems. We look forward to your insights and feedback.

Just a heads-up: The link for GPUDirect Storage download points to an restricted page. The public link should be Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage | NVIDIA Developer.

Thanks for the tip! I’ve made this change.
