Some iMac Pro users complain of unexpected shutdowns

In some Apple forums there are several entries about a Annoying shutting down of iMac Pro unexpectedly, in the middle of a task in progress. In addition to interrupting work, a failure in this sense of Apple's most professional machine, creates confusion among users.

After a cursory analysis of the problem, everything seems to indicate that it is an emergency action of the Kernel. According to information reported by users, the problem is related to BridgeOS, the operating system dedicated to the ARM chip, which is at the core of the brand's most powerful Mac. 

The causes of the problem are not yet known, and it would be foreseeable to study it calmly, to find the correct solution. In any case, the problem arises when performance is demanded from the iMac Pro. Some users comment that it has happened to them on occasion, when they compile in the app to make Xcode programs. This activity is very demanding and requires powerful machines to move it.

Instead, other users explain that the failure occurs when transmitting files at more than 10 Gbps over Ethernet connectionEither when Thunderbolt 3 ports are connected to multiple devices at the same time. Finally, other users talk about the problem when connect multiple external displays at the same time.

The iMac Pro should be prepared to perform these actions without major problems, therefore, Apple has to prepare an update to solve this problem. Although the problem has to be analyzed with caution, it is also true that the first problems arose weeks after its commercialization. That is to say, since the month of January or February of this year the problem is being detected, with no apparent solution on the way.

Surely in some macOS update, Apple will solve the problem via software. Preventing the Mac from reaching the point of shutting down the system for safety. They are very complex machines that need to be adjusted and software allows to do so these days.
