Research direction

Start by reviewing the Level Zero specification headers and loader to determine where DMA/RDMA support would belong, then compare the linked NVIDIA GDS and AMD hipFile references. The issue does not identify files, tests, or a precise API scope; done would require an agreed design for direct NVMe-to-GPU reads and writes on Intel hardware.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As I want to see Intel grow, I want Intel to adapt DMA/RDMA as well. This will help quite a lot, if we have less RAM, and a minimal CPU. We can directly load from NVMe to GPU and write back as well.

NVIDIA has cuFille, GDS. AMD has hipFile. But when I searched for Intel, I found nothing.

NB: Willing to work on this one. Cause I want to grow as well.
