Using AVX-512 based memcpy is a bad idea, in general.

This is how gdr_copy_from_mapping does with AVX512 (In fact, its SSE4.1 version is faster than its AVX version, and the source code prefers it over the AVX version).

Thank you for taking a look.
Which CPU, GPU and PCIe topology did you test?
Can you report copy_to_mapping perf ?

As for the PCIe topology, I'm not sure, but I did a lspci -tv:

One caveat is that I probably could've used the -mavx512vl compilation flag to use up to 32 ymm registers for both AVX & AVX2, but I didn't. I wonder if loop-unrolling in the source-code should be tweaked if 32 registers are to be leveraged, instead of the default 16.
