## What it is
A Windows application that creates a virtual RAM disk backed by GPU memory, built on top of ImDisk's proxy feature. It is a proof-of-concept tool that allocates a buffer in GPU RAM and exposes it as a virtual drive.

## Use cases
- create a ram disk using spare gpu memory
- benchmark gpu memory as a storage device
- use gpu ram as a fast scratch disk on windows
- experiment with imdisk proxy-backed virtual drives
- test io performance of gpu-backed storage

## When to choose
- you have spare GPU memory and want to experiment with a GPU-backed ram disk on Windows
- you want a proof-of-concept storage benchmark using GPU RAM

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade ram disk - host memory ram disks are faster and more reliable
- you are on Linux or macOS - this is Windows-only via ImDisk
- power consumption from waking the GPU is a concern

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-system, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, windows, hardware
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: ram-disk, gpu-memory, imdisk, cuda, proof-of-concept
