Given that one is doing very long computations, it seems obvious to me
that you're likely to get memory errors that alter your computations
if you only run long enough. ECC memory thus seems like a near
necessity these days.
However, I've been finding it increasingly difficult to figure out,
based on manufacturers blurbs, whether or not given motherboards
support ECC memory properly. Anyone have any tips on how to determine
it easily?
if you're operating at the component level it's a question which core
logic chipsets are in use.
In the amd case all socket F cpu's support ecc.
In the intel case. the uniprocessor xeon chipsets like 3000 and 3200
support unbuffered ecc ddr2 dimms. all 5000 chipsets support ecc
fbdimms. The older 7xxx xeon supporting chipsets support ddr or ddr2
registerd dimms with ecc.
only with the single socket intel lga775 systems is there serious
ambiguity at this point.
