7 months ago These are persistent problems with OpenCL. 7 years later, the problem remains relevant. OpenCL will never be able to perform calculations without errors or run for long.

This was reported in 2016 but still appears to be an issue. When I start gominer it uses about 5 - 6 % of memory, but after a a day or so it is up to over 70% as reported by top. I've also noticed that some of my workers eventually hang and all I can do is reboot. I don't know the cause because I cannot get to linux but I suspect that gominer may be running the machine out of memory.
As an aside I've noticed that the OpenCL version is a CPU hog using 400% of the CPU which is reported by top (have 4 cpus), so consuming a lot of the CPU. I tried the CUDA version which is much better as far as CPU usage is concerned but is half the hash rate of the OpenCL version.
