"An uncorrectable ECC error detected" does sound like there's some<br>
hardware problem, while it is strange you only get this on GPU nodes<br>
(Extra power load leading to higher chances of memory corruption + more<br>
frequent kernel memory scannong increasing the chance to hit such<br>
curruption?) I'd expect you'd be seeing other crashes on such GPU nodes<br>
.<br>
<br>
Can you just generate some other cpu load (that involves system calls)<br>
on those nodes perhaps and see if suddenly crashes go up as well, just<br>
in some other area?<br>
