Abstract
An example computing device includes a module interface to communicate with a peripheral device. The computing device also includes a hot swapping prediction circuit to detect a physical movement of the computing device and to generate a hot swapping prediction signal based on the detected physical movement. The computing device further includes a processor coupled to the hot swapping circuit. The processor is to, in response to detecting the hot swapping prediction signal from the hot swapping circuit, change a parameter of a peripheral device detection operation to be executed by an operating system of the computing device.
