I have a server with 8Go memory on 4 processors.
Currently my squid proxy 3.2 and my Debian using around 2Go memory in
the full production mode.
I would like to try to add a kind of "temporary" cache in tmpfs using
around 3.5go of Squid Cache./

I/O for Squid ?/
I'd suggest looking into rock store instead. It is a more efficient
cache than UFS, equivalent in speed to a tmpfs, with real disk backing.
/Did it possible to do this on the squid.conf ? :/

Yes, as long as the tmpfs is mounted before Squid starts, and never
disappears.
Means that the tmpfs is monted on /var/cache/squid-tmpfs
Each instance will have 875 Mb on a tmpfs and when the size is full it
will automatically start to run the standard cache based on disk.
Squid prefers the disk caches with more space over smaller ones. So what
you will see is the opposite filling style with the below config.
You can instead use the min/max object limits on each dir to force small
stuff into the tmpfs.
