AMD Genoa 9534 cluster - L1 and L3 uncorrectable ECC errors running amd-zen-hpl-avx2-2023_01.tar.gz

I have a cluster of 18 nodes with AMD Genoa 9534 installed with Rocky Linux 9.1 updated to the latest kernel.
I started to run hpl linpack on each individual node with amd-zen-hpl-avx2-2023_01.tar.gz.  The longer I run the hpl linpack, the more Uncorrectable ECC errors pop up.
I have been running hpl linpack for about 2 hours and about 5 nodes have one or more ECC Uncorrectable ECC.
Are these actual DDR5 DIMM errors which need DIMM replacements or are these processor errors?

Thank you for your help!

I have narrowed it down to the DIMMs as the cause of the issue.  

We have Micron DIMMs with Rambus interface chips and these are getting many Uncorrectable ECC errors when running them at room temperature > 85F (DIMM temp around 60C).

Our vendors are testing with Micron DIMMs with IDT interface chips and they are not getting any Uncorrectable ECC errors.

We swapped all the 16GB Micron DIMMs (Rambus) with 32GB Micron DIMMs (IDT) and we no longer get any Uncorrectable ECC errors even running at room temperature of 95F.

I hope this will help someone else who encounters these Uncorrectable ECC Errors.

Hello @sho1sho1sho1 

Thank you for contacting AMD Server guru. 

The binary  you are using is compiled for specific Operating System. We have tested the executable on the OS mentioned in the document and it's working fine for us.  Can you please check the dependencies listed in the link at your end.

Hello @sho1sho1sho1 

Can you please clarify if you are observing this issue with this particular tar file or for other applications as well?
