+GDR COPY is a fast copy library from NVIDIA, used to transfer files 
+between the host and the GPU.  Communication libraries (MVAPICH2, UCX)
+can take advantage of GDRCopy. if available on the systems.
+
+While GPUDirect RDMA is meant for direct access to GPU memory from 
+third-party devices, it is possible to use these same APIs to create
+perfectly valid CPU mappings of the GPU memory.
+
+The advantage of a CPU driven copy is the very small overhead involved.
+That might be useful when low latencies are required.
+
+To use it, please check whether the GDR COPY module is loaded on the
+involed machines.
