After Microsoft announced the DirectStorage programming interface, which will provide an advantage to gamers by making data transfer from the graphics unit to the SSD unit more efficient, a move came from Nvidia.
What is Nvidia Big Accelerator Memory (BaM)?
As graphics units approach processors in terms of programmability, direct access to large storage units has become a necessity. The new technology announced by Nvidia as Big Accelerator Memory (BaM) provides great convenience in workloads using large data sets.

The technology developed with IBM does not need a programming interface. In short, BaM enables the graphics unit to directly retrieve data from the system memory and storage drive. The technology that eliminates the processor does not enter the virtual memory addressing business and acts independently. It is stated that the technology will be supported by an open source driver.
AMD had also developed the Radeon Pro SSG accelerator with SSD integrated in previous years, but it remained a graphics solution because it was not designed for complex workloads. BaM technology has gone one step further at this point.
