I'd like to welcome Flavius Isac to our sister project "Les GeneFermiers". He and I will be sharing the k=10 range (due to user error when sieving) PM has...
I found these two today on my loane G5 from Apple: Phi(24576,1688699286450) Phi(24576,1689467561672) on the same CPU. I've only done 600 tests on that CPU, so...
... When I poked Frances to see if she'd found any PRPs, her response was "one last night and one this morning". Good things come in pairs, it appears. ... ...
I'm pleased to welcome another new tester, Janis, who found out about PIES through the Linux Journal article. Janis is no stranger to prime hunting, having...
After seeing the vast rate at which the client-server ranges are being processed, and the rather slow rate at which the manual reservations are being ...
Up real close: http://primes.utm.edu/bios/top20.php?type=project&by=PrimesRank Great GeneFermier-ing: brains and brawn! Best regards David (with regulation...
... I've been following that saga for a long while, as you can imagine. A fortnight ago 15k had a ~50 prime lead, but had ~30 60000-digit primes just waiting...
Due to me no-one yet building OversEis 0.7 for G5, I'm joining PIES' supercherry hunt with k=2 (rather than Les GeneFermiers). Good news is that I've found 2...
This only applies to non-x86 testers, i.e. the PPC three. It appears that the 'multiplication by a small integer' that occurs in the 'square and multiply'...
An interesting find! I have a server on which I'm running overseis.athlon looking for primes. It has two xeon cpu's. Monday evening I started processing on my...
Phil, on second thought (I just finished mowing), forget about sending me a new range just now. I'll modify my start_overseis.sh script to accept an optional...
... I'd like to join the fun. Since I heard about the project in LJ, I'll grab a slice of that action to get started. I've uploaded the 24576_k10.abc file...
... Hmm. I think I discovered why I was plowing through them so fast: I was running foreis on a super-cherries .abc file instead of overseis. It skipped the...
OK, I've modified start_overseis.sh to accept an argument (optional defaults to 1) for the number of strips to break an .abc rage file into. It only imposes...
... Excellent. I'm glad I uploaded the file so that such reservations can be done without my intervention. Of course, automatic reservation makes a lot more...
... This is what I would do. NFS is a boon for such shared-file-system jobs. As long as you get the ABC header replicated at the top of each file, you can...
I've just noticed that the sum total "Production Score" of all PIES primes has reached above 46.0000 (and there's still one more to submit according to my...
... I am currently running two processes on a server with two cpu's. According to top both appear to be running close to 100%. So I assume one process on each...
... On a twin processor machine, having 2 processes at 100% is what you want. ... Acknowledged. 0.8 is going to be mightily different I/O-wise than 0.7 and ...
... My 3 hour monitor script showed I 'solved' 27 entries on each of the two processes running. 180 minutes / 27 solutions is about 6.66 minutes / solution....
The G5s've blazed their way through my smaller reservation, finding one super-cherry each (exactly the expectation). So I've grabbed 1040000-1080000 to work on...
Phi(24576,2316102250810) aka Phi(24576,10*481259^2) aka Phi(- 3,2316102250810^4096) is prime according to overseis! I'm (slowly) running a pfgw verification...
Typos I understand, but are you saying it was not a verified prime when you submitted it? And why the x-code for the proof code? We should always credit the...
It was found and verified by oversies. I'm double-checking it with pfgw (but my hardware is SLOOOOOW so it's taking quite a while). As for the X-code, I saw...
... My fault - I should really expand the ForEis description to cover the full gamut of programs. I genuinely didn't believe that there was anywhere to go ...
... The OversEis verification uses the same FFT parametrisation as the initial PRP test, and thus is as susceptible to FFT overflows. However, it will...
Because of devices errors on my server, I had to re-boot it. Overseis is about 40% through an .abc file. Is there any way to restart overseis from the last...
