Research direction

Start with the DeepNVME file_access examples and the deepnvme/model_checkpoint/torch example linked in the issue. Compare how each handles model checkpoints and state dicts, then determine whether a standalone utility or a documented usage example is appropriate. Done means the recommended path is clear and a working state-dict example is available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The examples under https://github.com/deepspeedai/DeepSpeedExamples/tree/master/deepnvme/file_access are great. However, the problem is real-world applications need to be able to pass a model state dict to a method and load them.

Would it make sense add utilities for this? Or is the recommended path for it to be used with https://github.com/deepspeedai/DeepSpeedExamples/tree/master/deepnvme/model_checkpoint/torch (which is a bit tough given it requires modifying an existing torch installation)?
