   NVIDIA tutorial: reading data into GPU memory with KvikIO and GPUDirect Storage

   NVIDIA published a technical tutorial showing how to use the KvikIO Python API to read a file directly into GPU memory through GPUDirect Storage (GDS). The walkthrough configures storage I/O, allocates a 1 GiB CuPy buffer, performs the read via KvikIO's cuFile interface, and then uses cuFile level-three statistics inspected with gds_stats to check whether the nvidia-fs accelerated path or the CPU-staged POSIX path handled the transfer. NVIDIA stresses that KvikIO and cuFile make separate path decisions, so reaching the cuFile API does not by itself confirm the accelerated GDS path was activated. The post also notes KvikIO is part of the CUDA-X libraries for data science and is used by libraries such as cuDF.

   Dell adds semantic layer and knowledge graph to its AI Data Platform

   Dell announced extensions to its AI Data Platform, adding a Unified Semantic Layer, an Enterprise Knowledge Graph and Knowledge Agents to its Data Orchestration Engine, plus a new Data Processing Engine capability that runs on GPUs via Nvidia's cuDF library. iThome reports the three features are expected in the first half of 2027 and that the sensitive data they handle stays in customers' own data centers. Dell says the semantic layer gives structured and unstructured information consistent business meaning, while the knowledge graph continuously tunes itself using metadata, lineage and query history to supply context to agents.
