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.
