GPUs are increasingly present in personal computers. Most of the
time they are idle. Using the memory resources of these devices
can free up space in the host’s RAM, allowing the operating system
to use it efficiently. This work presents the initial implementation
of GPUramfs, a volatile file system that uses the GPU as a storage
device. The system exhibited good performance even in comparison
to EXT4 using NVMe high throughput disks.
