I'm at a loss and trying to see if anyone else has had similar problems.
We've got two pairs of identical machines:
- 2 Tyan S2882 dual processor Opteron 244 stepping 10
- 2 Tyan S2882-D dual processor dual core Opteron 275 stepping 2
We have two (relatively complicated) numerical models (RAMS and a
homegrown one) that will blow up in random locations on the 244 machines
but run fine on the 275 machines.
By blow up it appears the calculations get corrupted in some way and the
numbers get un-physical in RAMS and the simulation exits. With the
other model we get segfaults.
Memtest86 runs fine. No other hardware issues that I can find.
We've tried FC4/5 on the 244 machines. At one point all were running
identical FC5 installs with the same problems.
Problem is not exactly reproducible unfortunately. It will crash at
different times in the simulations, but they will crash at some point
with the length of runs we are doing.
Are there any cpu tests out there that would check the accuracy of
various calculations?
Thanks!
