GPU VRAM as Linux swap: trading compute for memory overflow

Hacker News·6d·tanelpoder

A developer published nbd-vram, a tool that lets Linux systems use Nvidia GPU memory as swap space when RAM fills up. It's a clever workaround for memory-constrained machines, though the latency tradeoff means it's best for workloads that can tolerate slower access patterns rather than performance-critical tasks.
