[18:57] schestowitz[TR2] Long and short of it is that memtester is thorough and slow, but because you can only point it at free memory I missed an important point that the already allocated high mem was suspect. Going to the BIOS I found that a cheap DDR4 DIMM I'd put in was defective. Swapping it out made reliable compiling work again. [18:57] schestowitz[TR2] It's an interesting point that so much error correction is applies nowadays that serious problems can go hidden for a long time. Compiling sensitive DSP code, as for Ardour, won't sweep this under the rug. Having the compiler fail in different places on each run is a giveaway. [18:57] schestowitz[TR2] This also explains why gzip failed compressing a 5G file. I just tried compressing the same data again and got reliable level 9 compression first time, albeit more slowly. I read a bit more about memory stability on modern motherboards and found setting the system memory to more stable settings (underclocked and higher voltage) has a huge effect on overall performance. Much better to trade stability for speed. And do not assume th [18:57] schestowitz[TR2] at the "auto" setting will pick the best values.
