AMD Instinct Accelerators With So Much vRAM Have Exposed Linux Hibernation Issues

Phoronix - 30. Červen 2025 - 12:07
Too much vRAM and too many Instinct accelerators per server is causing system hibernation to fail on some high-end AMD AI Linux-powered servers. Having eight accelerators each with 192GB of device memory can in turn cause system hibernation to run into problems if the Linux server has only 2TB of system RAM... But a new patch series was posted today in working to address this problem with the Linux kernel for high-end systems failing to hibernate. A similar issue is that when thawing the system the process can take nearly one hour due to the amount of memory...
