nbd-vram
Use your NVIDIA GPU's VRAM as swap space on Linux. Built for laptops with soldered memory and no upgrade path. If you have an RTX card sitting there with 8GB of VRAM and you're getting swapped to SSD, this puts that VRAM to work

Use your Nvidia GPU's VRAM as swap space on Linux
I've implemented the same idea with OpenCL: https://github.com/theblazehen/vramblk
There is originally https://github.com/Overv/vramfs however that has the overhead of a FUSE filesystem + loop device when using as a swap device.
The performance is rather lackluster however, it's far from a miracle "now you effectively have more ram for a 90% performance drop" - it definitely feels like traditional swapping

why is UPS so low? How to bring it up?
You could use it as swap space via vramfs, but again, if you hit the swap, you already have lost.

Storing a filesystem on a graphics card, how bad an idea is this?
This reminds me of vramfs and swap on video RAM. The tweet also has some interesting insights specific to Linux, which may actually be more viable now that PCIe ReBAR is more widely supported, allowing the CPU to actually access all of the available VRAM instead of a limited window of about 256 MiB.
