NVIDIA GDRCopy Driver

GDRCopy is a low-latency GPU memory copy library based on NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA technology. While GPUDirect RDMA is meant for direct access to GPU memory from third-party devices, it is possible to use these same APIs to create perfectly valid CPU mappings of the GPU memory. The advantage of a CPU driven copy is the very small overhead involved. That might be useful when low latencies are required.

This container deploys GDRCopy kernel mode driver gdrdrv and used in conjunction with NVIDIA GPU Operator. More details about GDRCopy can be found here.
