Nvidia open-sources cuFile API as GPUs read directly from storage
Nvidia has released its cuFile API, which directly connects GPUs and storage, as open source. Nvidia also announced an industry collaboration group called Storage-Next at the Future of Memory and Storage conference. The company said cuFile transfers storage data directly to GPU memory without passing through the CPU and system memory, enabling secure access in milliseconds. Nvidia said cuFile could help speed retrieval-augmented generation and agentic AI workloads.
