Modern datacenter infrastructure must support data-hungry applications and feed data to these applications at ever-increasing speeds. NVM Express® (NVMe®) SSDs, which use the PCI Express® (PCIe®) physical interface, have become the frontrunner for raw storage device performance, both in terms of IO’s per second (IOPS) and throughput, typically measured in Megabytes or Gigabytes per second (GB/s).

GPUs are known for providing excellent acceleration to video graphics and related activities, in part, because these activities require many repetitive mathematical calculations to be performed and these GPUs are designed specifically to accomplish this purpose. RAID processing also involves extensive and repetitive mathematical calculations, especially for RAID5 and RAID6, so GPU acceleration is a natural fit.

This report examines the advantages of GPU RAID and provides an analysis of test results from two competing NVMe RAID solutions.

If storage is becoming your AI infrastructure bottleneck, this is the session to catch. See you at FMS 2026!
Graid Technology has achieved an industry-first benchmark: 100 million IOPS on a protected RAID 5 volume for GPU-initiated I/O, built from 32 KIOXIA XD8 NVMe SSDs. The result shows that resilient NVMe storage can now operate at the scale that current and future AI deployments require, which is especially significant for environments that require both extreme performance and enterprise-class data protection. In benchmark testing with a WholeGraph training workload, [...]
