Illustration of NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage (GDS) from NVMe storage drive to Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) with and without GDS. Path with GDS is shorter, only passing through a PCIe switch. Path without GDS involves going through the PCIe switch, CPU, System RAM, then back to the CPU and PCIe switch before going to the GPU. Further on the right, the figure shows current (2023) support for filesystems, file formats (via cuFile) and Zarr compression (via nvCOMP). Also linking to the Excalidraw files/URLs (for future editing) to the figures/README.md file, and added references to the NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage blog post and DevSeed's FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2023 blog post.
