arxiv.org/abs/2610.30868 uGDS: A User-Space Development Kit for High-Performance GPU Direct Storage
uGDS is an open-source user-space library that handles NVMe command management on the host CPU while data moves by PCIe peer-to-peer DMA, supporting both NVIDIA CUDA and AMD HIP. On an A100 with a Samsung 990 PRO it reached up to 12.12x GDS's batch-read bandwidth and cut LMCache median time-to-first-token by up to 62.7%.
