HPL residual check failure

[Yoon Jae Ho]

I found your e-mail today. 

I can't find your system information in your e-mail. 

but I guess if you use Myrinet instead of 10/100 LAN. then please check the Cable & Myrinet mpich version.

If you use 10/100 LAN, then I guess your failure for the matrix size 23,000 is related to RAM .

Please check the RAM size & Physical Problems of your Workstations RAM first.

There may be problems in the heat but I think in the normal temperature, Workstation must be endured without fail.

Have a NIce Day.

Subject: HPL residual check failure


> Hi
> When I was doing HPL benchmark test using big matrix(bigger than 20,000 ) with many linux server(more than 20), sometimes I got residual check error as attached. 
> When I got residual check error, I turned off my linux servers for several hours and then tried again. And usually it worked - I don't know the reason.
> Heat is suspicious. But, is it really heat problem?
> Is there anybody who have experienced similar problem or know the reason?
> please help me.

> Thanks in advance!
