Flexible I/O for Database Management Systems with xNVMe
Summary: Integrates Samsung's xNVMe unified message-passing API into DuckDB via an nvmefs filesystem extension to expose block-level access and unlock IO Passthru, SPDK and Flexible Data Placement. Delivers comparable CPU-bound performance and up to 50% faster I/O-heavy queries. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
