Recently at the SC11 conference I learned about PCIe-based SSD storage such as the OCZ RevoDrive and upcoming Z-Drive, that have transfer rates up to 2 GB/s.
My question is, since the card is already in a PCIe lane, is there some possibility CUDA can support direct memcpy to and from these devices as if they were a second Fermi GPU in peer-to-peer mode?
I imagine that it would be much faster than treating them as a standard SSD drive and having the data stream through the system bus?
Any thoughts/insight into this greatly appreciated.
