Hmm... "always"? What about long running computations like that
simulation (or LLM training) launched a month ago and that's expected to
finish in another month or so?
Some mainframes have supported hot (un)plugging RAM modules as well and
I wouldn't be surprised if some x86 servers also support it nowadays.
