Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing the communication implementation that packs the table, metadata, and GPU data messages; done means supporting multiple GPU buffers or buffer views, including fixed- and variable-sized data.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, we send pack an entire table, and send metadata, and GPU data in two separate messages.

In the future, we might have GPU data residing in a set of buffers/ buffer views. These buffers could be,

  • Fixed sized?
  • Variable sized?

This might require considerable changes in the communication implementation.
