When it comes to hot swapping, U disk is the most familiar application, and there are also hard drives in NAS, but have you ever seen hot swapping of graphics cards? As the head giant of cloud computing services, Microsoft’s cloud servers use Linux systems and AMD GPU accelerated computing cards, but when installing or replacing new cards, it must be shut down, which is very troublesome for cloud services that require real-time online. . To this end, Microsoft has developed a special patch driver. On Microsoft Azure servers running Linux systems, AMD GPU graphics cards can be installed and replaced at any time in a hot-swappable manner without downtime. Microsoft has put this patch driver on GitHub for relevant customers to evaluate and test. Microsoft did not disclose the details, apparently using its own proprietary technology. .
