The open-source tool allowing GPU VRAM as swap on Linux (github.com/c0dejedi) is a game-changer for data scientists on a budget. By using GPU memory as swap, datasets up to 16GB larger than system RAM can be processed without cloud instances. The PCIe 5.0 latency (~5us) vs SSD (~50us) gives 8-12x improvement. Limitations: GPU must be idle during swap I/O, only works with Nvidia cards, and VRAM is still precious for model inference. Best for: data preprocessing and ETL where GPU compute is not simultaneously needed.
