Source on cpu bypass and ssd decomp? That reads like ps5 tech.
- cma 6y ago>Leveraging the advanced architecture of our new GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards, we’ve created NVIDIA RTX IO, a suite of technologies that enable rapid GPU-based loading and game asset decompression https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-io-gpu-accelerated-storage-technology/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-io-gpu-acceler... It can't both bypass the CPU and have decompression unless it is decompression on the GPU. I'm not sure it is dedicated decompression hardware, or if it is using the normal GPU compute.
- wtallis 6y agoRead a bit further into that link: > Specifically, NVIDIA RTX IO brings GPU-based lossless decompression, allowing reads through DirectStorage to remain compressed while being delivered to the GPU for decompression. Still not sure if it'll use fixed-function decompression units on the GPU or if it's just compute shaders, but it's decompressing on the GPU.
