Starting a blog post trilogy on 'GeoTIFFs to GPUs'! If you've struggled with using GDAL effectively in GPU workflows (read: machine learning pipelines), and/or have messed around with converting to other file formats because you thought 'GeoTIFF is slow', know that it doesn't have to be this way!

I'm working towards GPU-based decoding of Cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs into CUDA/GPU memory via Rust/FFI. Eventual goal is to do zero-copy to CuPy arrays on the Python side via DLPack. It'll be a few months of work, but let's start from part one:
