+(prototype) Accelerating ``torch.save`` and ``torch.load`` with GPUDirect Storage
+=================================================================================
+
+GPUDirect Storage enables a direct data path for direct memory access transfers
+between GPU memory and storage, avoiding a bounce buffer through the CPU.
+
+In version **2.7**, we introduced new prototype APIs to ``torch.cuda.gds`` that serve as thin wrappers around
+the `cuFile APIs <https://docs.nvidia.com/gpudirect-storage/api-reference-guide/index.html#cufile-io-api>`_
+that can be used with ``torch.Tensor`` to achieve improved I/O performance.
+
+In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to use the ``torch.cuda.gds`` APIs in conjunction with
+checkpoints generated by ``torch.save`` and ``torch.load`` on local filesystem.

+# Using GPUDirect Storage with ``torch.save`` and ``torch.load``
+# =============================================================
+# GPUDirect Storage requires a storage alignment of 4KB. You can toggle this by using
+# ``torch.utils.serialization.config.save.storage_alignment``:
+
+import torch
+from torch.utils.serialization import config as serialization_config
+
+serialization_config.save.storage_alignment = 4096
+
+################################################################################
+# The steps involved in the process are as follows:
+#    * Write the checkpoint file without any actual data. This reserves the space on disk.
+#    * Read the offsets for the storage associated with each tensor in the checkpoint using ``FakeTensor``.
+#    * Use ``GDSFile`` to write the appropriate data at these offsets.
+# 
+# Given a state dictionary of tensors that are on the GPU, one can use the ``torch.serialization.skip_data`` context
+# manager to save a checkpoint that contains all relevant metadata except the storage bytes. For each ``torch.Storage``
+# in the state dictionary, space will be reserved within the checkpoint for the storage bytes.
+
+import torch.nn as nn
+
+m = nn.Linear(5, 10, device='cuda')
+sd = m.state_dict()
+
+with torch.serialization.skip_data():
+    torch.save(sd, "checkpoint.pt")
+
+################################################################################
+# We can get the offsets that each storage should be written to within the checkpoint by loading under
+# a ``FakeTensorMode``. A FakeTensor is a tensor that has metadata (such as sizes, strides, dtype, device)
+# information about the tensor but does not have any storage bytes. The following snippet will not materialize
+# any data but will tag each ``FakeTensor`` with the offset within the checkpoint that
+# corresponds to the tensor.
+# 
+# If you are continuously saving the same state dictionary during training, you
+# would only need to obtain the offsets once and the same offsets can be re-used. Similarly if tensor is going to
+# be saved or loaded to repeatedly you can use the ``torch.cuda.gds.gds_register_buffer`` which wraps
+# ``cuFileBufRegister`` to register the storages as GDS buffers.
+#
+# Note that ``torch.cuda.gds.GdsFile.save_storage`` binds to the synchronous ``cuFileWrite`` API,
+# so no synchronization is needed afterwards.
+
+
+import os
+from torch._subclasses.fake_tensor import FakeTensorMode
+
+with FakeTensorMode() as mode:
+    fake_sd = torch.load("checkpoint.pt")
+
+for k, v in fake_sd.items():
+    print(f"key={k}, offset={v.untyped_storage()._checkpoint_offset}")
+
+f = torch.cuda.gds.GdsFile("checkpoint.pt", os.O_RDWR)
+
+for k, v in sd.items():
+    offset = fake_sd[k].untyped_storage()._checkpoint_offset
+    # save_storage is a wrapper around `cuFileWrite`
+    f.save_storage(v.untyped_storage(), offset)
+
+
+################################################################################
+# We verify correctness of the saved checkpoint by ``torch.load`` and comparing.
+
+sd_loaded = torch.load("checkpoint.pt")
+for k, v in sd_loaded.items():
+    assert torch.equal(v, sd[k])
+
+################################################################################
+# The loading flow is the inverse: you can use ``torch.load`` with the ``torch.serialization.skip_data`` context
+# manager to load everything except the storage bytes. This means that any tensors in the checkpoint will be
+# created but their storages will be empty (as if the tensors were created via ``torch.empty``).
+
+with torch.serialization.skip_data():
+    sd_loaded = torch.load("checkpoint.pt")
+
+################################################################################
+# We once again use the ``FakeTensorMode`` to get the checkpoint offsets and
+# ascertain that the loaded checkpoint is the same as the saved checkpoint.
+#
+# Similar to  ``torch.cuda.gds.GdsFile.save_storage``, ``torch.cuda.gds.GdsFile.load_storage``
+# binds to the synchronous ``cuFileRead`` API, so no synchronization is needed afterwards.
+
+for k, v in sd_loaded.items():
+    assert not torch.equal(v, sd[k])
+    offset = fake_sd[k].untyped_storage()._checkpoint_offset
+    # load_storage is a wrapper around `cuFileRead`
+    f.load_storage(v.untyped_storage(), offset)
+
+for k, v in sd_loaded.items():
+    assert torch.equal(v, sd[k])

+# In this tutorial we have demonstrated how to use the prototype ``torch.cuda.gds`` APIs
+# in conjunction with ``torch.save`` and ``torch.load`` on local filesystem. Please
+# file an issue in the PyTorch GitHub repo if you have any feedback.
