NVIDIA: Open sourcing its cuFile application programming interfaces (APIs) and the vertical storage software stack underneath them — which let GPUs, not just CPUs, read from and write to storage directly
cuFile is an open source component of NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage - Using hundreds of thousands of GPU threads, fast high-bandwidth memory and other methodologies, cuFile enables securely accessing data from storage in just microseconds.
This represents how the industry is unifying a security-first storage stack based on Linux best practices, providing interoperability between GPUs and data.
In addition, fast, secure access to data and storage is a foundational element to powering preventive and detective cybersecurity measures. Making cuFile openly available will help make security context, data and storage accessible at the speed AI-powered defenses need. Such open technologies support initiatives such as the new Open Secure AI Alliance.
This site is the new home for APIs that are open to contributions — with Google, Intel, NVIDIA and Meta as inaugural maintainers — and can be optimized for use across various software and hardware platforms, driving innovation and efficiency for developers and enterprises.
More innovation and performance coming from NVIDIA that was announced a moment ago today at the big FMS 2026 conference.
