With the default
device_buffer_samples = 0, the single-matrix loader creates one batch covering the complete input and copies that batch into pinned memory. The statement that the complete input is never copied into pinned memory is therefore incorrect. This is a documentation issue; the loader implementation does not need to change.Suggested fix

One minor concern: for the single batch case (device_buffer_samples = 0), we are doing the additional copy to a pinned buffer. Do you think it would be beneficial to directly transfer to device in that case (so if number of batches == 1, skip the kmeans batch loader entirely)?

For a single batch, the transfer happens only once, so it mostly comes down to the cost of explicitly allocating and filling a pinned buffer versus the time cudaMemcpyAsync may block while staging internally. I'm not sure the change is worth it. I'd also keep the batch loader responsible for managing the data, since bypassing it for the single-batch case would add complexity.

Direct H2D copies from pageable or mmap-backed input could block batch submission, preventing transfer/compute overlap despite an auxiliary stream.
Stage pageable batches through bounded pinned host buffers in the existing single- and multi-GPU KMeans loader. The full dataset remains mapped, and already-pinned input retains its direct-copy path.
