Hello all, I have a few questions related to NVME SSD storage and how it relates to the GPU on the Jetson Orin Nano. So far, I’ve figured out that GPUDirect Storage is how you “connect” the GPU and the NVME. What NVME’s can be used with the Orin Nano? If anyone has had specific models work with th…

Hi, This is not supported in GPU. The disk storage can be set to swap space so that CPU can use it as memory extension. But GPU cannot access it. If your use-case require significant memory, please consider Orin Nano 8GB.

So I take it that this document ( 1. Overview — GPUDirect RDMA 12.4 documentation ) stating that GPUDirect can be used from CUDA 11.4 and onwards on Jetson Orin platforms is wrong? Or am I misunderstanding it?

Hi,
The solution is for FPGA devices instead of NVMe SSD storage. Please check
