Description

🚀 The feature

Would TorchData provide GPU support for loading and preprocessing images?

Motivation, pitch

When I am learning PyTorch, I find, currently, it do not support using GPU to load images or any other transforms of preprocessing and encoding data.
I want to know whether this would be taken into consideration into the design of TorchData.

Alternatives

Currently, NVIDIA-DALI is an impressive alternative for loading and preprocessing images with GPU.
