Dataset mem type = pinned memory. This speeds up training by a lot. nsys gave throughput for H2D transfers around 50 GB/s. This is a 114 GB dataset. The screenshot above shows the overlap between the two streams with prefetch.

Also the use of pinned memory shows > 50 GB/s of throughput for H2D transfers. This gets much lower with regular host mem.
