Is ECC actually useful for consumer use or is it only worth it for people who are running servers on their machine?

Only really useful in certain use cases, the big thing here is the fact AMD is not telling you to fuck off and buy there server/workstation parts like Intel does

Due to the extremely volatile nature of RAM, you invariably get errors every once in a blue moon, although it's so rare and limited in scope that for consumer systems it's not worth considering. No one will care if an image you left open in Photoshop overnight will have the color of one pixel change slightly, and a random system crash can be chalked up to bad programming or something you did.

However as you scale up in memory, from a few to several hundred GB of RAM, and have it running 24/7, this multiplies the chance of an error happening considerably. And in a server room of many terabytes of memory you basically have errors happen every second. If you're running a simulation, this could be catastrophic for the results, or if it's a database, you will have wrong data be recorded to disk, even if it's one digit off it could still mean a bank loosing a million bucks worth of customer cash for no reason.

To expand, chaos theory expands the results of errors massively. ECC ram is used in weather simulations, because a computation error right near the start would compound on itself over and over again and produce completely inaccurate weather predictions.

They did support ECC, for the same reason. Consumer CPUs are just chips that didn't quite make the cut for the enterprise Opterons. The memory controller has the additional bits for ECC, it just normally isn't used by consumer boards.

you can leave a machine on all day, every day and not worry that bad RAM or random bitflips won't go undetected/uncorrected.

ECC modules are more expensive than non-ECC and generally aren't sold in the higher speed grades, but it's a very nice feature in workstation chips for those who want to built their own file servers, etc., without paying the Xeon tax for support.
>>
>>59032320
This is unbuffered, so it won't correct - but the machine will know the memory is wrong and can act accordingly rather than writing out faulty bits.

Meanwhile Google released data showing about 5 single bit errors in 8 Gigabytes of RAM per hour on the high end. If you're willing to risk that with the assumption that "one pixel in an image can change slightly" (never mind the fact that if a bit changes there's a good probability that it's going to be in the high bits and cause a greater change than "slight") then you must not give a fuck about what your computer is writing to your disks. Bit flips in the kernel memory will probably lead to system crashes too, which are pretty fucking annoying unless you're autistic enough to save all the time.
>limited in scope
An arbitrary bit in your RAM can change its value. It's basically unlimited in scope.

>>59033337
There a 0.000000000078125% possibility that one random bit will flip. That's not very massive.
>>
>>59033410
B...but what if it's the 'delete all data' flag?
>>
>>59032396
what are you smoking?
buffered/unbuffered is purely the difference between an extra array of latches right before the bus that enables more DIMMs per channel.

ECC is about using more SDRAM lanes/chips (9 or 18 chips with 72b total instead of 64b) to store redundancy information that the host memory controller verifies. Every write sends the extra bits, every read sends them back, and the memory controller can autonomously read the entire SDRAM array ("scrubbing") to preemptively detect and fix errors.

They're strictly orthogonal things, even if buffering is almost never used on non-ECC sticks.
>>
>>59024862
The consumer use would be for a home built NAS
>>
>>59033448
The most probable thing to be affected by random bit flips is the operating system. It's the only part that is up at all times while the computer is on. User applications are opened and closed on demand so their memory is constantly being refreshed. It's possible but the window for an error to occur and then not be corrected is much smaller.
>>
>>59024862
>What's the big deal with ECC?
People think it's to prevent random cosmic ray bit flips, but it's really more about detecting and correcting for subtly defective SDRAMs long enough to replace them.

Various large scale trials have shown that the majority of errors in enterprise come from flaky bit cells or bit column sense amps that fuck up once a day or week, i.e., not enough to be guaranteed to be caught in manufacturer QA or an initial torture test but enough to lead to probably bugs/data corruption/crashing in a server.
>>
>>59033410
Did you fucking bother to read what I posted?
https://research.google.com/pubs/pub35162.html
The actual, field error rate is orders of magnitude above the old, assumed error rate.
>0.000000000078125% possibility
That means a lot when you don't have an interval assigned to it. 0.000000000078125% per 0x10^-32 picoseconds?
>>
>>59033609
5bits out of 64,000,000,000bits = 0.000000000078125%

Not sure if I did the math right but there's a very small chance of any one particular bit flipping.

No, 5/(64e9) = 78e-12 = 0.000000000078 = 0.0000000078%

But you calculation is nonsensical in any case.
Like the anon above said, you need to express errors in terms of rate per time or proportion of bits transferred. Beyond that, you also need to consider the nature of stored data and that a single bit flip will ruin an entire 64b pointer, etc.

Except you run out of PCIe lanes if you do that. AM4 will have AT MOST 8 lanes of PCIe 2.0 split between several PCIe 1x and PCIe 16x (4x electrically).

That's the difference between consumer and prosumer/server/workstation hardware tho. AM4 will be consumer stuff that competes with intels LGA1151 consumer stuff.

Smug's more like it. AM4 is looking to be the very thing that ruins Ryzen's potential. AMD had to force compatibility with their shitty APUs left over from the Excavator days and that resulted in this tepid pile of shit before us.
LGA1151 is literally more advanced than AM4, and it's already two years old.

But it still has DMI3.0, which has far better expansion support and higher transfer speeds than that Infinity Fabric nonesense AMD shat out because their HyperTransport was too old to be recycled again.

ECC memory isn't even that expensive when compared to non-ECC. ECC memory can sometimes be cheaper in certain stores.

It's more expensive in general but if you shop around and compare different brands and makes then you can sometimes get cheaper ECC than non-ECC RAM.

Make a claim, can't back that claim up. Classic Intelfag.

DMI 3.0 is absurdly slow, only clocking in at 4GB/s if you saturate all 4 data paths. AMD has already stated Infinity fabric scales from 30GB/s to 512GB/s. So that alone makes it 9x faster at the low end, and over 100x faster at the high end.

Please just neck yourself. The human race doesn't need a retarded little baby like you.

>>more robust memory controller and VRM
You don't know how anything about the IMC besides the number of lanes, and Intel doesn't put VRM there, but motherboard jews, also more VRMs just means you have a more power hungrier chip if you forgot.
>>DMI3.0 >>> a rebranded HyperTransport
DMI3.0 has pathetic bandwidth, 6Gbit/s to the SB, two NVMe drives will choke and one NVMe drive with a fast USB drive will choke, also you know nothing about IF and apparently you know nothing about HT either.
>>PCIe Gen 3.1 support from the chipset rather than the 2008-era PCIe Gen 2.0 from AM4's SB
Supported by the CPU directly.
>>supports at least 6 SATA ports and 1 SATA Express port rather than 4 SATA ports and 1 SATA Express port (that's shared with the M.2 slot)
This is the only thing you didn't lie about, congrats.
>>lower latencies between chipset-to-CPU transfers
Intel's desktop southbridge are on board instead of integrated like AM4's, there is theoretically no way your 3-external bus hopping and back chipset has lower latencies.

>Need I go on
Please do
>>
>>59035032
>DMI 3.0 is absurdly slow, only clocking in at 4GB/s if you saturate all 4 data paths
Nope, not even the non-Intel white papers show DMI dropping to half its bandwidth in any circumstance other than saturating all of the DMI's bus to a 2-to-1 ratio (and both ways, since DMI is full duplex).
> AMD has already stated Infinity fabric scales from 30GB/s to 512GB/s
Yes, and AMD also said that Bulldozer was totally going to beat an i7-980X in multi-threaded benchmarks

>>59035073
>The 3.1 thing is total bullshit
AMD does not have USB3.1 controllers inside their SB chipset and have to rely on an external chip from ASMedia. Try again.

Yes, did you not know that decent Intel boards have had dedicated power and voltage regulators specifically for their DIMMs?
AM3+ and FM2+ had no such thing, and neither will AM4
>((((Memory controller))))
>>>/v/
Stupid AMDkiddie doesn't know what a memory controller is. I bet he doesn't even remember AM3+ CPUs shitting the bed if you even pushed the memory clock beyond its 933MHz stock clock.
>Sata express? Nothing uses it
But at least it doesn't rob you of bandwidth on any other ports on current LGA1151 boards.

I'll be interested in seeing how many AM4 motherboards there will be that has more than one M.2 slot that supports the full PCIe3.0 4x specification and won't sap 8 lanes from the CPU itself
>AM4 supports USB3.1 gen1 and gen2, without any off chip controller
https://www.techpowerup.com/223583/amd-zen-processor-integrated-chipset-has-usb-3-1-issues-could-escalate-costs
Their solution was literally to outsource the problem and buy an external USB3.1 controller
>You don't know how anything about the IMC besides the number of lanes, and Intel doesn't put VRM there
First off, AMD has ALWAYS had shitty memory latency issues since the K6 days. Second, Intel motherboards support additional power and voltage regulators SPECIFICALLY FOR the memory controller for better stability at higher clock speeds. AM3+ had no such thing and suffered for it. Try using a pair of 2133MHz RAM and overclock the CPU at the same time. You'll bluescreen faster than you can say "POO"
>DMI3.0 has pathetic bandwidth, 6Gbit/s to the SB
8GT/s, pleb. It's equivalent to roughly 8 lanes of PCIe3.0
>Supported by the CPU directly
But not the SB. 2008 called, they want their 32nm chipsets back.
>Intel's desktop southbridge are on board instead of integrated like AM4's, there is theoretically no way your 3-external bus hopping and back chipset has lower latencies

Even if it's full duplex it's still slower than HT2.0 which runs at 22.4GB/s as compared to the theoretical 4GB/s both ways of DMI.
Even better, HT is also full duplex and could manage 44.8GB/s since apparently you think that it being full duplex means you add them up.

>Meanwhile Google released data showing about 5 single bit errors in 8 Gigabytes

That's some bull shit. For one the paper I found by google on the issue seems to show the data they have is all over the place and that bit flips appear to be occurring mostly in the same modules. This leads me to think they are shitty RAM and getting away with it because redundancy.

For another I decided to a similar claim I saw on /g/ this using ramfs. I used dd to grab 2GB of garbage from /dev/urandom and put it in a ramfs. I saved the sha512sum on my hard drive. I set up a script to dd the random file to another file in ramfs, wait 1 minute, and dd from that file back to the original, wait 1 minute, and repeat . I let it run for 3 days. I copied the file out of ramfs and on to my hard drive and compared the sha512sum with the original sha512sum. Exactly the same.

So with a 2GB target sitting there in memory for 72 hours I would have expected 90 bit flips by your rate. Then add to the potential for lossy copying that happened 4320 times. I was disappointed. I wanted to use my RAM as a cosmic ray detector. Turns out shit doesn't happen anywhere near as often as memers would like to suggest. That is unless cosmic rays know how to calculate hash collisions and only flip bits that go unnoticed by sha512.

If ECC RAM was the same price for the same performance yeah I'd buy it. Until I'm running programs with huge memory foot prints that I can't just rerun if something goes wrong because it's a simulation that takes a month to run or something I won't sacrifice for it.

>I'll be interested in seeing how many AM4 motherboards there will be that has more than one M.2 slot that supports the full PCIe3.0 4x specification and won't sap 8 lanes from the CPU itself
Very likely most of those with M.2 slots, since AMD has no problems with PCIe 3.0 support with their previous architectures.

>https://www.techpowerup.com/223583/amd-zen-processor-integrated-chipset-has-usb-3-1-issues-could-escalate-costs
>however, is rumored
Ok.

>AMD has ALWAYS
Wow, remember how Intel ALWAYS has I/O bugs every gen needing new steppings and recalls, a borked lookup table and 30 stage housefires?
Like most of your claims, there's a lot of assumptions.
>8GT/s, pleb. It's equivalent to roughly 8 lanes of PCIe3.0
Looks very much 6GB/s to the southbridge from Intel's own slides.
>But not the SB. 2008 called, they want their 32nm chipsets back.
80% of the lanes are already in the CPU, some cheap motherboards won't even have a chipset for extra lanes.
>Nigga what the fuck are you smoking?
Nothing, you're apparently unaware that the entire southbridge is in the CPU instead of on the motherboard, for power saving and latency.
Ergo there's no way a Intel chipset that's still on a motherboard can have lower latency.

But it is. The performance impact is pretty much zero and the price is almost the same. (Actually if you're buying second hand ECC RAM is cheaper.)
