Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and computer program products for high availability computing systems. A computer processor executes a sequence of instructions to execute, on a first node of a computing platform, a first instance of a computing process that is configured to use a first graphics processing unit (GPU) in a first GPU configuration. Responsive to detection of a loss of functionality that affects the first node, an agent automatically determines that a second instance of the computing process can execute on a second node. The determination is made by (1) determining that the second instance of the computing process can execute using a second GPU in a second GPU configuration on the second node, (2) mapping the first GPU configuration into one or more alternate second GPU configurations, and (3) configuring the second instance of the computing process to use the second GPU in one of the alternate second GPU configurations.
